Tesla and SpaceX CEO and billionaire Elon Musk has once again taken the Twitter world by storm. After purchasing Twitter, Musk started a new subscription named Twitter Blue which provides special benefits to the users.

This feature of Twitter is currently limited to iOS and Twitter web only. However, Android users can still upload videos up to 10 minutes without any extra charge. This decision of Twitter is special for content creators and those users who want to share long videos.

The process is easy for Twitter Blue users looking to share a longer video. Users can navigate to the compose box on twitter.com and select a video file from their device. Then you can simply click on the Tweet button to upload and share the video. The most important thing is that users can upload any number of videos. At the same time, normal users will be able to upload videos up to 140 seconds only, no matter which platform they are using Twitter on.

This move by Elon Musk is to improve the Twitter experience as well as to provide different facilities to paying customers. With the ability to upload longer videos, content creators will now be able to showcase their creativity and ideas in a better way. This could be the last big decision of Elon Musk after stepping down from the post as CEO.

But these are the difficulties
This decision of Twitter has brought many benefits for the customers as well as many challenges for the company. Most importantly, large storage files and video length can put a strain on Twitter’s servers and infrastructure, resulting in slow load speeds and performance disruptions. Additionally, the availability of such long videos can lead to a flood of low quality or useless content. This can have a huge impact on users’ feeds and spoil the experience.
