However, the Android app for Vine misses out on some of the key features that are present in its iOS counterpart. The most notable feature is the Android app cannot access the front-facing camera of an Android smartphone. As a result of which Android users will not be able to record video of themselves or users will have to use the rear camera for doing the same.
