Capturing your life's important and not-so-important moments on Instagram just got a whole lot more interesting. The company just announced that it's increasing the video upload limit to a full 60 seconds. If you compare the previous setting to the 15-second video limit available on the platform until now, this new one-minute limit will feel like an eternity.
To announce this new feature, the social media platform is putting together a short video montage containing all the recent videos posted on its platform.
The move is particularly interesting, judging by the fact that it moves far away from the 10-second time limit on popular apps like Snapchat and brings Instagram closer to YouTube territory.
Think about it, with a one-minute time limit, clever video producers could easily start crafting even more elaborate mini-documentaries from the moments of their lives, one snapshot at a time.
For anyone who lives inside Instagram, this is an absolutely captivating update that could push the boundaries of video even further than YouTube.
However, this new update is described by Instagram as "rolling out today and will be available to everyone over the next few months," which likely means that this version may only be available to a limited number of members during its initial stages and later to everyone else.
