Instagram will now allow users to record and share 60 seconds of video

Instagram will now allow users to record longer, 60-second clips, compared to the 15-seconds clips that we were limited to so far. The update will soon be available for iOS and Android. In addition, for iOS, Instagram will also bring back the ability to make videos out of multiple clips from the camera roll. The company stated in its  blog, “We want to bring you fun, flexible and creative ways to create and watch video on Instagram. As part of our continued commitment, you’ll soon have the flexibility to tell your story in up to 60 seconds of video. This is one step of many you’ll see this year.” Instagram is also going to offer a more personalised feed to its users. As Facebook-owned Instagram has grown at great speeds through the years, it has become harder to keep a track of all the photos and videos shared on the platform. To improve the user experience, the Instagram feed will soon be ordered to show the moments one cares about the most. The company is reportedly using machine-learning technology, as well as other “signals of interest” to determine how to sort content,  The Verge reports. The timeliness of the posts and the relationship between users will also play a role so that people you interact with more often appear higher in the feed. Now, if your favourite artist shares a video from last night’s concert, you won’t miss it no matter how many accounts you follow or what time zone you live in. Also, when your best friend posts a photo of her new puppy, you won’t miss that either, adds the blog.
