**TikTok is again cranking up the maximum length of videos users can upload** to the platform — more than tripling it, to 10 minutes, reports Variety.

Variety adds that TikTok, “owned by Chinese internet conglomerate ByteDance, is moving to let creators make longer-form videos as rivals like YouTube, Facebook and Instagram have aggressively built out their own TikTok-like short-form video features.

“TikTok’s expansion to allow up to 10-minute videos comes less than a year after [it raised the maximum length of videos to three minutes in July 2021](https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/tiktok-longer-videos-three-minutes-1235009793/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) (up from 60 seconds before).

“One of the reasons TikTok has become massively popular — with [more than 1 billion monthly active users](https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/tiktok-1-billion-monthly-active-users-1235075119/?ref=capitolcommunicator.com) — is that it provides an auto-generated feed of entertaining, bite-size short videos of under a minute, algorithmically tailored to users’ interests. It’s not clear how many TikTokers will take advantage of the longer-form videos but the change clearly shows that the company is eager to facilitate ways to keep viewers in the app for longer periods of time.
