Vine, the six-second-video platform owned by Twitter, is bringing its service to the Apple Watch and introducing a swiping feature to surface new Vines, according to a blogpost.

The Watch app, which will roll out today, is essentially a smaller version of the iPhone app allowing viewers access to Featured and Favourite Vines. The former offers a curated feed of popular Vines while the latter is creators that you've marked as important.

Vine is also introducing a new way to discover Vines on the platform by swiping left. This reveals similar, popular Vines either by, or about, the creator. The blogpost demonstrates a user swiping on a Vine of Justin Bieber and seeing related Vines about the artist.

The move comes as Twitter attempts to make Vine "stickier," increasing engagement with the platform. Facebook Video, which now has over four billion video views everyday, has a "See More" section, pointing users towards similar videos and this is Vine's attempt at this.
