Samsung News adds short-form video to take on TikTok’s growing news dominance

Samsung News is adding short-form video clips from partner publishers inside its app for Galaxy phones and tablets running Android 13 or later.

The feature launches first in the U.S. and Canada in English, with wider expansion planned later.

Samsung is aiming to keep users in its news app longer by offering vetted, TikTok-style news content.

The move targets mobile and younger audiences who increasingly consume news in video form.
