The popular short video app TikTok has today announced that it’s extending the video length limit from 60 seconds to 3 minutes. It will essentially allow TikTok creators, also known as TikTokers, to create more detailed videos. Moreover, this change also makes TikTok a more fierce competitor to other short as well as long video sharing platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, and more.
The company announced the change via an official blog post recently. TikTok says that the expansion of the video limit comes after various TikTokers demanded it. As a result, the company has started rolling out the new 3-minute video limit to the masses after testing the longer video format for several months.
Coming to the availability, TikTok will be rolling out the expanded video length to global users in the coming days. Once it becomes available for users, the app will notify them about the change, so they can take advantage of the longer video format within TikTok right away.
