Snapchat used to limit the video duration to 10 seconds in the past. However, after optimization, Snapchat has allowed users to create and upload 60-second videos. You just need to continue pressing the camera button after the new video starts recording for 10 seconds. It will automatically record video stories more than 10 seconds. Then you can trim the recorded video same as mentioned previously.
1. Open Snapchat app, swipe down from the top of the screen, and tap the “Recents” option.
2. Find the trimmed video and tap to select it.
3. Tap on the “Edit” button and then tap on the "Undo Trim" icon in the top-left corner.
4. Click the "Save" button to save your change.
If the trim option isn't visible on Snapchat, try duplicating the uneditable original video. After that, see if you can reduce the duplicated video. If it still doesn't work, try signing out and logging back in to your Snapchat account. Restarting your device may also help to resolve the problem.
