How to Transform Your Live Photos with Boomerang Effect, as the name suggests, Boomerang allows you to upload short videos that act like a boomerang. Meanwhile, the boomerang effect has become a part of the Instagram application, even though it is a standalone application.


Boomerang saves a short video from several images taken in succession. The resulting effect is like a live photo on Apple's smartphones. Also you can instantly play the videos in the opposite direction.



In this article we want to show you, how you can turn your Live Photos into Boomerang. First you need to own an iPhone that is capable of taking live photos, from iPhone 6 and up.

It is also necessary to have a Live Photo in your photo library, because it is not possible to create Live Photos within the Instagram application. Then you have to download the Boomerang application from the Apple website. You also need to have Instagram installed on your iPhone, install it if you haven't done so yet.
