As a short video platform, it is popular with people of all ages and classes. Tik Tok accounts have been opened by the general public and politicians.
But now Tik Tok has provided the facility to upload up to 10 minutes of video on its platform. There has been a mixed reaction from users around the world to TikTok’s decision.

He said the company expects the decision to help creators around the world become more creative.
Tik Tok could initially upload a 15-second video. After that, the facility to post videos up to three minutes in 60 seconds was added. It is said that Tik Tok has extended the video duration due to its strategy of competing with other video sharing platforms.
