Instagram testing out splitting longer videos in segments for Stories

While Instagram has IGTV for its long-form videos, it seems it wants to help out Instagram Story users who want to share videos that are longer than 15 seconds. Reddit user T0oYoung discovered that Instagram is letting users record more than 15 seconds and segmenting these clips into chunks for upload. This means you don’t need to trim the videos yourself. Instagram hasn’t officially announced this feature so it’s most likely a test at this point. As Ubergizmo points out, it looks like the text or filters applied on one segment doesn’t seem to carry over to the next one. That said, those who want to share longer clips might appreciate this feature, if it gets official, that is.
