Tiktok videos are getting longer now. The short video service has clearly confirmed that it is launching the ability to upload up to 10 minutes of video to everyone around the world. Social media consultant Matt Navara posted an account update from tiktok on twitter, saying that the new video restriction relaxation policy is available on both mobile devices (including the best Android phones) and desktop websites. British journalist Chris stokel Walker also sent a confirmation on twitter that looked like tiktok's representative for longer video upload: Today, we are pleased to launch the ability to upload up to 10 minutes of video, which we hope will release more creative possibilities for our creators around the world. However, this is not the first time tiktok has expanded video restrictions for users. Last July, the platform launched the ability to create three minute video, a significant improvement over the previous 60 seconds. The latest expansion is not surprising. Less than two months after tiktok began allowing everyone to upload up to three minutes of video, it was found to be experimenting with 10 minutes of video upload. Longer video uploads give creators more flexibility. At present, when users upload a relatively long content to the platform, they need to divide it into multiple parts. As Navara points out, tiktok's latest update shows that the company hopes to work harder and harder to encroach on YouTube's territory. In the long run, it remains to be seen how this will affect the recommendation algorithm of the platform and whether the control of short video over users will remain unchanged. (Xinhua News Agency)
