Your beloved Instagram is set to ditch its loyalties towards photos, and instead, will let you shoot videos up to 60 seconds. The feature will be available for users on Android as well as iOS in the coming months as per the Facebook-owned company.
Instagram has become popular for its interactive platform, wherein people can post their images, add a few filters and share them with their friends or whoever follows on their profile. The company’s decision to offer longer video support comes on the back of growing demand and trend for video-based content getting widespread attention.
We want to bring you fun, flexible and creative ways to create and watch videos on Instagram. 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.
