Social networks have become the queens of communication as more and more people have decided to join this virtual fashion. Without a doubt, one of the ones that has hit the strongest, especially in recent times, has been Instagram. Although it began as a platform where only photos were uploaded , when the giant Facebook decided to take it to its land and buy it, different functions began to be integrated very well received by users..
Undoubtedly one of its strengths is the 24-hour stories which offer ephemeral content for followers. Ephemeral to some extent since now you can keep a file with all the stories shared, and even select some of them as highlighted.
Undoubtedly a widely used function but that unfortunately only offers the possibility of this content for a maximum of 15 seconds . Time too short for many people looking for longer content. If this is your case, you should not worry because below we offer you a series of possibilities to be able to share content greater than 15 seconds in your Instagram stories..
