Video sharing app Vine is launching a new 'Vine messages' service, which will allow users to send video texts.

The short, looping videos have seen people capture and share all types of events and antics.

Vine says this new service lets you privately send videos and text messages to your friends.

Users can also send videos to friends who are not on Vine, through e-mail or SMS.

You can also send a video message (VM) to multiple people. The latest update of the app also allows users to colour-customize their profile.
