Snapchat's "Bounce" Feature Explained
While Instagram made the term "Boomerang" famous, Snapchat has a very similar feature called Bounce. It allows you to take a video and have it loop back and forth, just like a Boomerang.

Note: The Bounce feature is primarily available on iOS devices, though Snapchat updates features frequently.
- Open Snapchat and hold the capture button to record a video.
- Once recorded, look at the toolbar on the right side of the screen.
- Tap the Loop icon (it looks like two arrows in a circle).
- Tap it until you see the Infinity symbol or the word Bounce.
- Adjust the slider to choose which part of the video you want to bounce.
