The big changes coming to Instagram’s IGTV feature

Published

on

Instagram is finally acknowledging that IGTV, its first big push into video, didn’t really work out as planned

On Wednesday, the company revealed it is rebranding video feature IGTV as “Instagram TV,” and it’s getting rid of the exclusive IGTV video format.

Videos posted to the main Instagram feed can now run up to 60 minutes long, a major change that many users have long been requesting from the Facebook owned social media platform.

That’s a length previously reserved for IGTV videos — and you’ll no longer have to leave the main app to view them.

A spokesperson for Instagram says the IGTV app, now called the Instagram TV app, will remain as a “destination for people to visit with the intent of watching video.”

Instagram head Adam Mosseri recently said it was “no longer a photo-sharing app,” noting the company was prioritising a shift into video amid significant competition from TikTok and YouTube.

Will the changes impact Instagram Reels?

None of these changes will impact what Instagram is doing with Reels, though. The company’s short-form video platform and TikTok rival will continue to remain separate, we’re told. They won’t be mixed into this feed of videos, if users choose to scroll.

Apple’s AI wearable push: Cameras, speakers and a 2027 vision

Apple is developing an AI-powered wearable device, aiming for a launch of 20 million units in the growing AI market.

Apple is developing an AI-powered wearable device, aiming for a launch of 20 million units in the growing AI market.


Apple is reportedly developing an AI-powered wearable device equipped with cameras and speakers, signalling its next major move into artificial intelligence-driven hardware.

While still in early development, the company is said to be planning a launch scale of up to 20 million units.

This move places Apple squarely into the fast-growing AI wearable market, where tech giants are racing to define what hands-free, AI-first devices will look like. Rather than rushing to market, Apple appears to be taking a measured approach by embedding AI capabilities into its existing ecosystem.

Reports suggest Apple is also experimenting with camera-equipped AirPods and smart glasses, with a potential launch timeline around 2027. If successful, these devices could reshape how users interact with AI in everyday life.
