<p>Twitter for iOS today will see the ability to upload and share much longer videos than before while still holding on to the short clip approach. The social network is announcing (https://blog.twitter.com/2016/new-ways-to-tap-into-video-on-twitter) that video uploads to Twitter will extend in total duration from just 30 seconds to a full 140 seconds, or 2 minutes 20 seconds. Twitter users may recognize the ‘140’ number as the character limit generally (but not always (http://9to5mac.com/2016/05/16/twitter-character-limit-change/)) assigned to tweets — which is based on the 160 character limit of SMS minus usernames — so Twitter is really embracing the number here.</p>
<p>Speaking of numbers, Instagram is sharing (http://blog.instagram.com/post/146255204757/160621-news) today that its photo and video sharing service has hit a new growth milestone at 500 million monthly active users (with 60% active daily) plus some other interesting stats about its app.</p>
