For instance,&nbsp;<strong>X<\/strong>&nbsp;(formerly Twitter) lets non-paying users upload videos up to&nbsp;<strong>two minutes and 20 seconds<\/strong>, while&nbsp;<strong>Meta\u2019s Threads<\/strong>&nbsp;allows videos of up to&nbsp;<strong>five minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/detail\/1747210\/HB4792Z9ECW-41\">HB4792Z9ECW-41<\/a>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/brand\/2\/Honor\">Honor<\/a>&nbsp;NBLK-WAX9X NBZ-WBE9 NIR-WAQ9HNR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This update is also great news for third-party apps trying to carve out a niche for video content on Bluesky, such as&nbsp;<strong>Bluescreen<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Skylight<\/strong>. These apps are working to create a more&nbsp;<strong>video-focused experience<\/strong>, whether through a&nbsp;<strong>video-first Bluesky client<\/strong>&nbsp;or entirely separate apps using Bluesky\u2019s AT Protocol. The expanded video length now brings Bluesky closer to&nbsp;<strong>TikTok<\/strong>, which lets users post videos up to&nbsp;<strong>10 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the video upgrade, Bluesky introduced a new&nbsp;<strong>\u201cChat requests\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;screen, which gives users better control over messages from people they don\u2019t follow. When a user receives a direct message (DM) from an unknown account, they can now decide whether to accept or reject it right from this new screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/detail\/1747213\/2969165-01\">2969165-01<\/a>&nbsp;for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteryone.co\/brand\/2\/Chuwi\">Chuwi<\/a>&nbsp;CWI530<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform has also streamlined its&nbsp;<strong>account muting<\/strong>&nbsp;feature. Now, users can mute an account directly from a post by simply tapping the three-dot menu and selecting \u201c<strong>Mute account<\/strong>.\u201d Bluesky has made additional improvements as well, such as&nbsp;<strong>better tablet layouts<\/strong>&nbsp;on the web and an enhanced&nbsp;<strong>moderation reporting flow<\/strong>&nbsp;to improve user experience across devices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bluesky has just made a notable upgrade to its platform, allowing users to upload videos up to&nbsp;three minutes long.
