Instagram makes the duration of stories longer and more attractive

Instagram plans to make the duration of stories longer and this popular feature more attractive than ever so that more users will welcome it.

Instagram, the popular photo and video sharing social media network, is making some helpful changes to its Stories. According to the announcement of this company, the 15-second time of stories will now increase to 60 seconds. This allows the artists, content producers and activists of this social network to send fewer stories in terms of number, and at the same time viewers are not forced to open and see multiple stories.

Instagram recently announced that it has started working on increasing the duration of stories. The feature, which was initially tested for several users, was launched with the slogan “meet longer stories”. The latest update released by Meta allows you to upload stories up to 60 seconds long.

Benefits of increasing Instagram story duration

A Meta spokesperson said in a statement that they are working on ways to improve the Instagram Stories experience. He added that users can now upload story videos up to 60 seconds instead of 15-second pieces. For a long time, users have been predicting that such a change in relation to Instagram stories is coming. The 15-second story limit meant that many users and content producers uploaded dozens of stories every day, and viewers had to keep going to the next story to continue watching the uploaded video.

This feature will probably create a good novelty for the community of Instagram users, both regular users and content producers. Content creators can publish stories that don’t pause every 15 seconds, and users don’t have to constantly touch the screen and go to the next story to watch long videos they might not even want to watch.

It should be mentioned that recently the famous and popular video and image sharing platform has made significant changes in its video section. For example, the Reels video limit changed from 60 seconds to 90 seconds. Additionally, users can automatically convert videos that are less than 15 minutes long into Reels.
