How to post videos longer than 15 seconds on Instagram Stories on Android and iPhone

With over 300 million active users every day, Instagram Stories has emerged as one of the most popular social networking trends today. What makes these stories great is that they disappear after 24 hours.

With face filters, interesting stickers and even trending GIF images, Instagram Stories brings a colorful look to user activities.

However, there is still one thing that makes users wonder about Instagram. Users can add music to Instagram Stories but still cannot post videos longer than 15 seconds. Someday, this 15-second time limit may not be enough to express your thoughts. Very unfortunate, right?

Instead, these applications will split them into 10 or 15 seconds clips and tell your stories in the order that appears in the queue. Sounds interesting right? Let's find out more details shortly.
