TikTok Tests 30-Minute Video Uploads

The social media platform is preparing to compete with YouTube and streaming services by offering longer content.

TikTok is testing the ability for users to upload videos up to 30 minutes long, a significant increase from the current 10-minute limit.
The move signals TikTok's intent to compete with platforms like YouTube and streaming services, offering longer content.
The new limit was spotted in the iOS beta version of the app in the UK by social media consultant Matt Navarra.
The change could attract longer-form video creators who normally post content on YouTube, and enable networks to post full episodes of TV shows.
TikTok has been preparing for longer videos by testing a horizontal full screen mode and a feature that lets users fast-forward videos.
