Bluesky gets three-minute videos and a filter to help with DM spam

Bluesky is adding support for longer, three-minute videos – a notable improvement from the previous one-minute limit. The update is rolling out in Bluesky version 1.99, which also includes a new DM filter that allows you to you approve or reject messages from people you might not know.

The new “Chat Requests” feature is similar to Message Requests on X, and it will appear as a banner at the top of your inbox. Tap into it, and you’ll find messages from unknown users. Based on the example shared by Bluesky, it looks like the platform will also let you know if the person trying to message you is followed by anyone you’re following.

Bluesky is also making it easier to mute accounts, as you can now select the three-dot menu beneath someone’s post and choose “Mute account.” Previously, you had to navigate to the user’s profile in order to mute them.
