Tiktok....we got Loops. Just sign up!

It's still in closed beta. You can't "just sign up."

[–] revv@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You can. You sign up on the website, you get an email telling you to install the app a day or two later. It's a very open "closed beta"

[–] airportline@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

Huh. I’ll do that later today then

And on Android, you just have to download the apk. I believe the delay is just a Testpilot thing.

Do they have their own app now?

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Do you mean Loops?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

You got a link to that? Because I can't find a download, the Loops site doesn't even list it for me.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Sorry, I only did a screenshot because I had to log in to get it on the dashboard. It's here: https://loops.video/dashboard/get-the-app

You can try this but I don't know if it will work not logged in. It's the link from "Download Loops APK": https://loops.video/beta/app/android

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 2 points 17 hours ago

Thanks, the download link worked.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago
