Instagram launches 60-second Stories

Now videos up to 60 seconds will not be split into separate videos in Stories.

Previously, Stories could only be 15 seconds long, and if their duration exceeded 15 seconds, they were automatically broken into separate videos. Now it's possible to upload whole Stories up to 60 seconds long.

Instagram began testing the feature with a limited number of users late last year. But since September 24 it has become available to everyone.
