Meta-owned social media services Instagram, WhatsApp keep improving their platforms with new features and fixes. While some of these features enhance user experience, others tend to baffle the functionality.
For instance, Instagram encourages its users to share their creativity on the platform in the form of videos, photographs. But what if the creativity extends beyond an hour? What if mere 60 seconds is just not enough to deliver the message to the audience? The platform is not doubted well-optimized for mobile devices, and it is taken to be one of the favourite one-stop daises among Gen-Z. But there are caveats that no doubt have a workaround but a user needs to cross the Thames to get the job done. Unwrapping the mysterious veil, we are talking about sharing lengthy videos on the social app. Back-fence talk suggests the platform increase the maximum length of videos on Stories to 60 seconds.

Tricks to post an hour-long video on Instagram
Instagram introduced IGTV in 2018 and it was initially available on the native app, the icon was removed last year. Dusting off the past, the Instagram TV is now available as a standalone app on major app stores.
