Report says Instagram planning support for hour-long videos

07 JUNE 2018

Facebook-owned Instagram currently allows users to publish videos with length up to one minute. However, if a new report is to go by, that limit is set to change. The report notes the company is planning offering users the ability to post whopping hour-long videos.

The functionality will focus on vertical videos (those that have more height than their width). Instagram has been in touch with content creators and publishers over long form videos, the report says.

While Instagram hasn't officially confirmed anything yet, the report notes these plans are tentative and can change anytime.

This piece of news comes hot on heels of a major Instagram outage - the service's app was crashing on the Android platform, and their website was also inaccessible in several parts of the world. Thankfully, the issue was quickly resolved by the company.
