Snapchat is on a roll. Yet again, it has introduced a feature that will enable users to record 60-second Snapchat videos. Gone are the days when you were not limited to the dull and boring 10 seconds time frame for your videos. Through its ‘Multi-Snap’ feature, Snapchat now allows you to record videos for up to 60 seconds. This is a major upgrade for Snapchat lovers and is sure to become an absolute favorite.
Initially, Snapchat only allowed videos to be recorded for 10 seconds. So when you wanted to record more, you had to record a Snap, post it or save it, and then go back to record another. That was very time consuming and annoying. When Instagram introduced the Story feature to its app, there was a rapid fall in Snapchat users who shifted to Instagram because its Story feature allowed a recording of up to 15 seconds. Instagram used to have 250 million users daily while Snapchat had 170 million users. The numbers are expected to be shifted towards Snapchat because of this recent 60-second video update. And rightly so! While other social media websites, namely Facebook, are busy fending off privacy threats, Snapchat is busy taking the user experience to the next level. it deserves every bit of appreciation that it is receiving from its users.
