TikTok has gradually increased the maximum length of videos over the years, meaning you can now fit even more content into a post on the platform — here’s everything you need to know about how long your videos can stay on the app.
TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms thanks to the many trends, filters, songs and funny videos that are in the app.
But as the user base grows and more and more people try to create content, many wonder if there is an option to shoot and upload longer videos.
How long can a TikTok be?
Videos included TikTok currently it can last up to 10 minutes.
Although initially users could only record and upload 15-second videos on TikTok, this limit was later increased to one minute and then to three minutes due to the need for longer videos to be able to include more in one video.
Although the 3-minute limit gave much more freedom to content creators, some called for the limit to be increased again. In February 2022, TikTok announced that they were starting to publish 10-minute videos on the platform.
The new video length has proven useful for many users who often need to upload videos in multiple parts to teach a lesson or share a story.
