Popular video sharing platform, Instagram, has announced an increase in the length of videos posted by users on its platform.
Instagram users can now post a 60-second video on their timelines as against 15 seconds it used to be in the past.
Also, the social networking website announced the return of multi-clip video, which makes it possible to create videos from multiple clips from camera roll of iOS users.
These were part of the changes Instagram announced recently.
Instagram explained that the reason for the changes was to bring fun to its users and also make the platform flexible and creative.
“As part of our continued commitment, you’ll soon have the flexibility to tell your story in up to 60 seconds of video. This is one step of many you’ll see this year,” it stated.
“Longer videos mean more diverse stories from the accounts you love, whether it’s Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) hanging out with friends or beauty star Bretman Rock’s (@bretmanrock) latest makeup tutorial,” Instagram added.
“Longer video on Instagram begins rolling out today and will be available for everyone in the coming months. Multi-clip video is available this week as part of Instagram for iOS version 7.19 in Apple’s App Store,” it further disclosed.
