It comes just over a week after TikTok revealed it was ditching its three minute limit on videos and will soon allow all users to upload clips up to 10 minutes long.
It brought in the existing limit in July 2021, upping it from 60 seconds, having initially expanded it from the original 15 seconds.
The app has long been seen as a short-form video platform but is now manoeuvring itself to rival the likes of YouTube, Instagram and Facebook even more.
The expanded video length will allow TikTok users more flexibility when filming clips such as beauty tutorials, cooking demos and comedic sketches.
Currently anyone creating clips has to encourage viewers to follow them for a ‘Part 2’ or longer video.
