Bluesky Introduces 3-Minute Videos and Enhanced Messaging Tools
The platform's latest update includes longer video uploads, a new DM filtering system, and streamlined account muting for improved user experience.
- Bluesky users can now upload videos up to three minutes long, tripling the previous 60-second limit.
- A new 'Chat Requests' inbox allows users to approve or reject DMs from unknown accounts, reducing spam and improving messaging control.
- The update simplifies muting accounts, enabling users to mute directly from a post without visiting the user's profile.
- Additional improvements include enhanced moderation reporting tools and optimized web layouts for tablet users.
- Bluesky, with over 32 million active users, continues to position itself as a growing alternative to X (formerly Twitter) and Meta's Threads.
