Instagram is among TikTok’s most important competitors with its short video format called “Reels”. This is exactly why the platform is trying to innovate and get ahead of the feature that millions of people regularly use.
A post shared by Alessandro Paluzzi, who we know with his leaks about mobile applications, on his X (Twitter) account today revealed that a significant change can be made in Reels. The change showed that the feature will gradually move away from the short video format we are used to.
Reels videos may soon be up to 10 minutes in length
According to Paluzzi’s post, Instagram plans to increase the length of Reels videos to 10 minutes. Previously, Reels videos could be added up to a maximum length of 3 minutes. In the two screenshots shared by Paluzzi, we can see that this time will increase from 3 to 10.
Meta or Instagram has not made any confirmation regarding this change that will make Reels videos longer. But Paluzzi’s leaks often turn out to be true. Therefore, there is a high probability that the feature will be officially introduced soon.
Instagram’s increase of Reels duration to 10 minutes will be a move to compete with TikTok. TikTok currently offers its users the option to add videos of up to 10 minutes. In addition, the platform even allowed 20-minute videos that could be watched for a fee.
