Instead, it encourages users to be more interactive and show who they are through short-form TikTok-like videos.

There is no swiping right or left on Snack. Similar to one’s TikTok For You Page, Snack will show you other users’ videos in a vertical feed. From there, you can view and then like the video if you want to get to know that person better. If you both like each other’s videos, Snack will let you know so you can make some moves in their DMs.
