As Instagram increasingly seeks to compete with TikTok, Meta has announced some new updates on the time limits for its video features. After Reels time limit extended from 60 to 90 seconds in Juneso by automatically sharing shorter duration videos like Reels, Instagram is tackling its own stories this time around.
Till now, Stories were automatically cut into 15-second segments, which users can scroll through. However, in an upcoming update of the app, Meta announced that it will allow users to post Stories up to 60 seconds continuously without being cut. We remind you that, whether it’s your Reels or your Stories, you can also share them on Facebook.
