Instagram continues to grow in popularity. The social network has become an important platform for celebrities who share stories of their lives and have more and more followers.

It has been reported that videos on Instagram will not be so short (with a limit of 60 seconds) and can last up to an hour. This would definitely lengthen the time that users spend on the network. In 2016 Instagram renewed its video function, lengthening the time from 15 seconds to 60 seconds. However, having the capacity for videos of up to an hour would be a revolutionary change.

What is IGTV? Mike Krieger, the co-founder of Instagram, spoke to Today about the new full-length vertical videos from the popular network that they will release in the coming weeks. "It is one of the fastest products we have created," he said. “It is cool for me to see what people create. We like to give people a blank canvas and let their creativity flourish,”added Krieger of the popularity of Instagram.

This new IGTV platform, with videos of up to 60 minutes in length, could be a great competition for YouTube.

Now users can include the music they like best in their Stories and video recordings. Instagram has also included a new function to insert the melody that its users select - from a music library - to their posts, making their posts even more entertaining.

Networks undoubtedly provide more and more resources to allow their users to express themselves in a unique and personalized way. The reach of Instagram is increasing - with more than a billion active users - and with functions like these, it will attract more and more.
