Vine, the six-second video app owned by Twitter, is being discontinued by the social network.
In a message on their website, Vine said "nothing is happening to the apps, website or your Vines today", but that in the coming months the app would cease to function.
The video platform confirmed it would be leaving its website online so that users can continue to watch previous posts to the site, which has around 200 million users.
It was bought by Twitter shortly before its launch in 2013.
"To all the creators out there - thank you for taking a chance on this app back in the day, " Vine said.
"To the many team members over the years who made this what it was - thank you for your contributions.
"What's next? We'll be working closely with creators to make sure your questions are answered and will work hard to do this the right way. We'll be sharing more details on this blog and our Twitter account, and will notify you through the app when we start to change things."
