TikTok is testing 30-minute-long videos within the app. 📱 That's right! In 2022, TikTok announced the launch of 10-minute videos across its platform. Recently, there has been a resurge in longer-form content across various social media platforms. TikTok appears to be leaning into this trend while also aiming to compete with YouTube by testing 15 and 30-minute videos. This shift comes after a notable increase in TikTok users sharing stories, films, and series on the platform, often split into multiple videos. Will this improve the platform, which originally gained its popularity for short-form content? Or is this the start of a fall for TikTok?

No forced scripts. - Hook viewers within the first 3-10 seconds. - Show the app in action immediately. - Aim for 15-30-second ads. - Post publicly and use spark ads to enhance reach.
