How to Do Boomerang on Snapchat

  • Open Snapchat and record your video.
  • From the menu on the right, scroll down and tap the "Snap Timer" icon once to get the "Bounce" effect.
  • Select the part of the video you want to turn into a boomerang. Keep in mind that you can only choose a section up to 1 second long.

After this, you can adjust the speed of the boomerang by swiping to the right. Available speeds are 0.5x, 2x, and 3x. Swipe right to preview how each speed looks with your video and select the one you prefer.

Finally, you can enhance your snap by adding your location, setting music, applying filters, inserting text, or using available stickers. Once you're done editing, you can add it to your stories or send it to friends.

What Does the Boomerang Effect Do?

A Boomerang creates a short, looping video that plays forward and then immediately reverses, creating a continuous loop. This effect adds a fun and dynamic element to your videos, making them more engaging and visually interesting.

The Boomerang feature was introduced by Instagram in October 2015. It quickly became popular, leading other social media platforms, including Snapchat, to integrate similar features. On Snapchat, this effect is called "Bounce."
