Remember that instead of sending normal snaps, you can do the Boomerang effect or reverse a video on Snapchat to make your content more attractive and unique.

Without a doubt, with these special effects you can stand out, but if you don't know how to do it, don't worry, here we show you step by step so you can learn:

How to Do Boomerang on Snapchat

Prerequisites:

An active Snapchat account

A recorded video clip within the Snapchat app

Steps:

Record Your Video: Capture your desired video content within the Snapchat app using the standard recording functionality.

Access Editing Tools: After recording, swipe right on the screen to enter the editing interface.

Activate Bounce Effect: Locate the "Snap Timer" icon within the editing menu on the right side of the screen. Tap this icon once to activate the "Bounce" effect. (On iPhones, you can alternatively swipe up on the editing tools after recording.)

Select Boomerang Segment:  Define the specific portion of your video you wish to convert into the Boomerang effect. Remember, the selectable range is limited to a maximum of one second.

Adjust Playback Speed (Optional):  For added customization, swipe right on the screen to modify the playback speed of your Boomerang. You can choose between 0.5x (slow motion), 2x (regular speed), and 3x (fast-forward) options. Preview each speed by swiping right to ensure it aligns with your creative vision.

Enhance Your Snap (Optional):  Leverage the additional editing tools available within Snapchat to further personalize your creation. You can incorporate location tags, add background music, apply filters, insert text captions, or utilize various stickers to elevate the visual appeal of your Boomerang.

Share Your Creation: Once satisfied with your masterpiece, leverage Snapchat's sharing functionalities. You can either add your creation to your story for public viewing or send it directly to specific friends on your contact list.

Understanding the Bounce Effect:

The "Bounce" effect generates a brief, looping video that plays forward and then seamlessly reverses, creating a continuous back-and-forth motion. This effect injects a touch of fun and dynamism into your video content, making it stand out and grab the attention of your viewers.

Additional Notes:

While Snapchat utilizes the term "Bounce," this effect is widely recognized as a Boomerang, a popular video format introduced by Instagram.

With these steps and by harnessing the creative potential of the “Bounce” effect, you can elevate your Snapchat content and captivate your audience with entertaining and visually engaging experiences.
