Samsung is bringing TikTok-style short-form videos to its News app. The new video carousel offers daily clips across categories like news, finance, sports, lifestyle, and entertainment. Initial partners include PEOPLE, ABC News, Food & Wine, and Travel + Leisure, with content curated by Samsung's editorial team.

Users can like videos and follow topics to personalize their feed, similar to other social media platforms. Beyond videos, Samsung News is expanding its editorial content with curated articles from ABC News, PEOPLE, USA TODAY, and The Washington Post for deeper reporting from trusted sources.

The update is rolling out to Galaxy phones from 2023 and newer in the US and Canada for English-language users, with plans to expand to more markets. This marks Samsung News' first venture into short-form video—something neither Google News nor Apple News currently offer directly in their apps.
