The six second video sharing service Vine, which is owned by Twitter, has rolled out new features for its Android app that brings mentions and autocompleting hashtags to the platform.

The update now allows people to @ other Vine users, which brings it more in line with the iOS app which rolled out mentions and hashtag autocomplete support earlier in the year.

The update also fixed several small bugs, the company said, but did not specify exactly which.
