Huddles (app)

Huddles (originally V2, Byte, and later Clash) was an American short-form video hosting service and social network where users could create looping videos that are between 2–16 seconds long. It was created by a team led by Dom Hofmann as a successor to Vine, which Hofmann co-founded, until the project was sold to Clash App, Inc. and subsequently renamed.

Initially teased as v2, it was branded as Byte in November 2018. After a three-year closed beta, it officially launched on Apple's App Store and the Google Play Store on January 24, 2020. It was later sold to Clash, another short-form video app, a year later. Both apps thus merged into a single app called Clash, which was then later renamed to Huddles. It was discontinued on May 3, 2023.
