Pulse

A vertical feed of short, portrait-orientation videos.

Pulse is Public's short-video feed. Each Pulse is a portrait video under 60 seconds, played one at a time in a full-screen vertical pager.

Where to find it

  • Web: the Pulse entry in the sidebar opens /pulse.
  • Android: the Pulse tab in the bottom navigation.

What you can do in Pulse

  • Swipe up to play the next Pulse, swipe down to go back.
  • Mute / unmute the audio.
  • Like, comment, and share like a normal post.
  • Report the video if it breaks the rules — see Reporting.
  • Tap the author to open their Profile.
  • Tap a #hashtag in the caption to open that hashtag feed.

How videos become Pulses

Any post with a portrait video shorter than 60 seconds is eligible to appear in the Pulse feed. Create one from the regular post composer.
