The app you need for better Instagram Stories

I love Instagram Stories. They are spontaneous, quick, only visible for 24 hours, and you can share just a bit more of your personality than in the polished pictures you post on your feed.

Yet there was always one Stories spoiler. I find videos super fun and watch vlogs all day. I also see from my statistics that videos on my Stories are viewed better than the photos I post. So, a bit more Story Time is needed. But what does Insta Stories do when you're just getting into your chat? It cuts the video off after 15 seconds. Then I've just said hi and hello. As a result, I totally forget where I was with each new video. And that creates a messy story. First world problems, I know, you can only have them.

I started googling because no one is waiting for a messy story. And guess what? I found the app that lets me finish my story. It works as follows. Turn on the camera and take your time telling your story. Then open the app ‘Split Videos’ and select your video. The app will get to work and deliver separate Stories of 15 seconds each that you can aim at your ‘story’ one by one.

How much does it cost? €5.49. In other words: two coffee to go.

You're welcome.
