The use of filters on Instagram has been a great novelty that has not allowed us to have better quality photographs with animations that make our content on social networks much more fun and interactive, one of the most used filters is the so-called ‘Boomerang’ that allows you add animation effects to a series of images that play quickly.
Basically the boomerang effect is the continuous reproduction of images so fast that the human eye perceives it as video, which ends and automatically starts again, hence the logo of this filter is an infinite loop symbol, because it is the number of times it is played.

The Boomerang filter is an Instagram plugin, and you can use it without accountto be able to have it on your mobile you need to go to the Google Play store or the iStore (depending on the operating system you use).
You place ‘Instagram boomerang’ in the search bar and press ‘Enter’, select the plugin with this name. You must pay attention to the one you want to install, remember that there are other similar apps with generic names.
