When Facebook launched Video on Instagram, some were quick to dig an early grave for Vine — Twitter’s video-only app was surely doomed, right? Wrong.

The Google Play link is still showing a prior description, but we’re guessing the new build will percolate through momentarily.

Update: The refreshed version has arrived on Google Play, and mentions the sharing enhancements include the ability to share any public post to Twitter or Facebook.
