tiktok users can now upload up to 10 minutes long videos

For the past several months, TikTok has been testing a 10-minute maximum upload limit by enabling it for select users. Now, the social network of choice for youngsters has rolled out the ability to upload longer videos to everyone.

Before the official increase of the video length limit, TikTok users were limited to just 3 minutes of video content, which was still more than the initial limit of just 15 seconds, which was later expanded to 60 seconds.

“We’re always thinking about new ways to bring value to our community and enrich the TikTok experience” a spokesperson from TikTok said in a statement. “Today, we’re excited to start rolling out the ability to upload videos that are up to 10 minutes, which we hope would unleash even more creative possibilities for our creators around the world”.

The longer video format is expected to quickly become popular across multiple genres of TikTok videos, including educational content, beauty tutorials, and cooking demonstrations.

While such videos are already thriving on TikTok, their creators often complained about feeling restricted by the 3-minute limit and not being able to create the same in-depth content as creators on YouTube can. With the new limit, the same creators can finally fully unleash their creative potential and give their fans the content they crave.

But TikTok isn’t the only social network that’s actively exploring how it can better compete with its rivals. Last year, YouTube launched its short-form video sharing platform, called YouTube Shorts, to users around the world, and Instagram did the same with its Reels in 2020.

Both YouTube and Instagram were clearly inspired by TikTok, and it will be interesting to see what else will these social networks copy from one another as they fight for users and their limited time.

Samsung has confirmed that One UI 7 will officially begin rolling out on April 7, bringing a fresh design and enhanced personalization options. This update is tailored for a more intuitive user experience, powered by AI-driven improvements. Initially, One UI 7 will be available in the U.S. on the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Z Flip6 starting April 10. The rollout will gradually expand to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the following weeks.

Refined Design And More Customization

With One UI 7, Samsung is introducing a cleaner, more cohesive look aimed at making customization easier and more intuitive. The home screen, widgets, and lock screen have been redesigned to streamline navigation and personalization.

One standout feature is Now Bar, which provides real-time updates directly on the lock screen. Whether checking workout progress during a run or seeing what’s playing on Galaxy Buds, users can access key information with just a swipe — no need to unlock the phone.

AI-Powered Enhancements For A Smoother Experience

Samsung has integrated AI into One UI 7 to make everyday interactions more seamless and efficient. Galaxy AI helps users complete tasks with minimal app switching, while AI Select suggests relevant actions based on selected content. For instance, users can swipe the Edge Panel and tap the AI Select icon while watching a video to instantly create a GIF.

Writing Assist — a favorite tool for Galaxy users — will now offer automatic text summarization and formatting. Meanwhile, Drawing Assist provides a creative boost by generating visuals from text prompts, images, or sketches. Another highlight, Audio Eraser, allows users to fine-tune video sound by isolating and adjusting different audio elements.

Finally, Samsung has added greater integration with Google Gemini. Users can simply activate Gemini and ask, “Find Italian restaurants with outdoor seating that are pet friendly” to get instant recommendations. Natural language search also makes adjusting settings easier — users can now tap the mic icon in Settings and say, My eyes feel tired, to receive suggestions like dimming the screen or enabling Eye Comfort Shield.

Device Compatibility And Rollout Schedule

The One UI 7 update will begin rolling out on April 7, with more devices receiving it in the weeks that follow. Compatible models include the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and the Galaxy Tab S10 and Tab S9 series.
