Photo-sharing app Instagram is working on an interesting update that would make posting stories fun. Instagram users have always complained about not being able to post longer stories without clips being cut. However, now Instagram is trying to fix the problem. Soon, the app will allow users to post 60-second videos as stories.
Social media expert Matt Navarra posted on Twitter about Instagram's upcoming feature. He said: "Instagram is testing longer story segments of up to 60 seconds." Instagram is testing the feature with a select group of people.”

Currently, if you try to post videos longer than 15 seconds, the video will automatically be split into different stories. Flow breakage is not very pleasant to look at.
Users get more out of videos when they are not broken into parts. If Instagram rolls out the feature, users will be able to post videos of up to 60 seconds. The best part about the next feature is that it will not split the posted video.
On the other hand, Instagram already allows users to add music to their feeds. Instagram has started testing the feature in Brazil and Turkey. Users will no longer need to rely on third-party apps to add music to their photos or videos posted to their Instagram feed. If you end up clicking on the song, you'll be taken to an audio page that shows all Feed posts that used that song.
See how the feature will work once implemented
