  Meta-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram is reportedly now allowing a few users to post longer videos up to 60 seconds on Stories. "As noted by an Instagram Stories user in Turkey, the social networks app is now notifying a few users about the change," 9To5Mac reported on Wednesday. Currently, if a user records or uploads a video longer than 15 seconds, it automatically gets split into multiple different Stories, the report said.
