Crazy about power after universally extending maximum video upload time to three minutes last month, according to TikTok is now being tested for five minutes video lengths for users who want to create content even longer.
The news was first shared in a tweet by social media consultant Matt Navarra, who posted a screenshot of a TikTok newsletter announcing that users will now be able to upload longer videos.
“Upload videos from your device up to 5 minutes long. Make sure you use the latest version of TikTok before testing the feature in your app or tiktok.com,” the screenshot says.
TikTok started testing all three minutes charging time in December 2020 before launching the function universally in July 2021. Second 9to5Mac, some users have reported uploading videos up to 10 minutes long, which probably means that TikTok is testing video limits of different lengths before reaching a consensus on what works best.

TikTok did not immediately respond to Gizmodo’s request for comment and we will update this post when we receive an answer.
The video social network is best known for hosting highly shared, bite-sized videos that can be consumed in excess exactly for their brevity, so anyone assumes the content will be played longer among the audience with ever shorter attention. It should be noted that the most popular videos on the platform currently focus on a viral challenge in which people are seriously injured by falling from piles of milk cartons, which certainly does not require rigor. of a long video format.
The news about the longest duration of the video upload is just one a week later, Navarra also reported it TikTok is configured to deploy “TikTok Stories” the copycat Instagram-Snapchat-Fleets feature that will allow users to post content that disappears within 24 hours. While TikTok has confirmed that a Stories feature is actually up and running, there is currently no set date for this feature to be widely available for public use.
