The developers of the social network held an event on June 20, where they announced their new application. The IGTV service is an analogue of YouTube with long videos (from 15 seconds to 60 minutes), but in the Instagram format, that is, we are talking about vertical videos with effects and stickers.

When logging into IGTV for the first time, the user will see the main screen completely filled with several videos from your subscriptions. The videos are automatically played immediately, just like in Instagram. The general IGTV feed consists of all videos - it will contain content from subscriptions and recommendations at the same time. This approach bears a strong resemblance to Facebook with its cluttered update feed.

The new application has full integration with Instagram, meaning IGTV users will be able to upload videos to both social networks at the same time. This makes it a great place to blog popular people.
