Just weeks after updating Vine with new Audio Remix and search features, the app has delivered another refresh that offers more functionality on the Apple Watch.

The addition of Apple's smartwatch to Vine's mobile device options is, however, limited to viewing just Featured Vines and Favorite Vines.

Of course, viewing Vines on your tiny Apple Watch screen is about as practical as viewing photos on the device -- not very. But by adding the smartwatch to the fold indicates that Twitter (Vine's parent company) is committed to making sure the app has as broad a reach as possible.

Another component of the Vine update for the Apple Watch is the ability to add the number of loops your account has to the complications on the device's watch faces.

Hardcore users pay close attention to their loop counts, but the popularity measure isn't something you often hear mentioned like Twitter "retweets" or Facebook "Likes," so this could be an attempt to boost the presence of loops among users as a social media popularity meter.

The update also includes the ability to now swipe left to see new Vines recommended by the app, a small but nevertheless on-trend tweak in line with interfaces in apps like Tinder and Snapchat.
