A significant app gap exists between mobile platforms that aren’t as popular as the two behemoths that rule the global smartphone market, iOS and Android. Therefore users who opt for these mobile platforms often have to wait for quite a long time before some of the most popular apps on iOS and Android are ported over to their particular platform. This was precisely the case with Vine, which was only recently released for Windows Phone. Today, the Twitter owned Vine Labs rolled out an update for Microsoft’s mobile platform which brings support for saving those six-second clips in drafts.

Today’s update brings version number up to 1.1 and brings feature parity between the iOS, Android and Windows Phone apps. When it was initially launched, Vine for WP didn’t support drafts which meant that users had to finish up the six second clip at once, they couldn’t save it mid-way and pick it up later. Today’s update brings the ability to save Vines mid-way through recording and resume recording from that very spot at a later time. There are only minor visual tweaks included in this update apart from the drafts feature. Available for free, the updated Vine for Windows Phone is now live and ready for download through the Windows Phone Store.

Twitter’s six-second video sharing app Vine is making a play for more markets, announcing today that its apps for iOS and Android have been translated into 19 new languages, plus two more just on Android. Also available on Windows Phone and sporting a user base of over 40 million, a blog post also mentions Vine is working on ways to highlight popular clips on a country-by-country basis. Many of the Vine’s we’ve seen work in any language, but we suppose opening up access to the app to more people will only increase the creativity seen. Now, who can translate “Ooooh, kill ’em” into Polish?

Vine may have noticed a slump in its user base when after Video on Instagram came out, but its obviously not going to stop competing any time soon. The team continues to improve Vine by adding new features and making a number of improvements. Today Vine app for both Android and iOS has been updated with a couple of new features which make it much more easier for Vine users to create that perfect six second clip. The two new features are called Sessions and Time Travel.

The Vine app has never required users to finish their six second clip all at once, users have had the ability to record or pause in between as many times as they like. Though they couldn’t access any other section of the app, or even the timeline to view Vines published by other users. The Sessions features allows them to do just them, stop their recording mid-way and open up the timeline or any other area of the app. Users can store up to 10 unfinished Vines at once. The Time Travel feature has been aptly named, as it lets users go back and fix a mistake in their Vine. The feature lets them remove, replace or reorganize any shot within the six second clip before that clip is shared. Vine app for both Android and iOS is available for free from the Google Play Store and the App Store.
