Instagram could have videos from June 20
The company Facebook is preparing an event for next June 20 One in which the presentation of a new tool for reading news is expected, or that is what the rumors pointed out Now, several specialized media affirm that the novelty would be in Instagram, the charismatic application of photographic filters, which would no longer only give the option to edit photos but would include short videosA new format that could well be said to come from the hand of Vine, the application of six-second videosin the format loop that is causing a sensation.
Both the specialized media TechCrunch and The Verge (doing reference to the first) have already published news about this leak. Information that, for the moment, does not stop being a rumour, since it does not have official confirmation. According to these media, the information has come from investigating what kind of application or surprise was waiting after the call for the event next Thursday that is preparing Facebook Thus, an anonymous source would have stated that the surprise is the introduction of short videos in the, until now, application of photos
These media recall that Facebook was already preparing some kind of video service a few weeks ago. Something that apparently responded directly to the success achieved by Vine, the video application of Twitter. Question with which this rumor could make sense. However, no further details have been revealed, knowing that the videos he tested Facebook had a duration of between five and ten seconds , but without knowing if they have unique filters or formats. Therefore, we only have to wait a couple of days to confirm or deny this rumor.

Which in turn has meant an increase in the use of Instagram itself, where you can comfortably view all these photographs.
That is why, in order to stand up against the war for the greatest number of users, Facebook has decided to address the field of short videos In addition, following one of the lines of thought seen in With the TechCrunch news, the introduction of Instagram videos may also mean the end the inclusion of or a system of advertisements and, therefore, of monetization to get economic match for this tool that continues to offer no benefits despite having been bought by almost 1.000 million dollars We will remain tuned for new news about this, for now, rumor.
