As happened in its day with GIFs, songs and other effects, Instagram news comes with droppers. It is a very safe way to launch new functions And it is that, after some tests or tests, the season begins to open little by little. This allows Instagram to go back and prevent any bugs that have been passed to them from being fixed before they affect the bulk of their users. Either for security or a mere malfunction of the application. That's why they take their time to release a new feature.

Does that mean you have to do something special to start using it? The answer is no.Just arm yourself with patience if this function has not yet arrived in your account. Quiet or calm, you will end up doing it after a few days or weeks. It is only possible to wait until your account and your terminal are in the group of active users for that function Something that not even being a beta tester or tester user can speed up.

What effects have reached Boomeran

The Instagram Boomerangs will be renewed in the coming days. This means that you will see the classic repetitive and funny animations more often but with a different twist. Or, more specifically, with up to three different touches. And it is that, although the repetitive format from beginning to end and vice versa is repeated, the effects that they add change the appearance of these contents These are the three new modes that are coming to Instagram Stories:

SloMo: This is the classic Boomerang but in a slower format.Something that helps to see the content more clearly. You may lose some of that special Boomerang grace that comes from speeding up a move. But it helps to give a slightly more dramatic tone to those videos.

Echo: In this case the Boomerang plays a kind of ghost effect on the movements. An echo that makes the effect more colorful and striking.

Duo: This type of Boomerang has a very interesting retro effect. It shows normal video from front to back, but when it rewinds it rewinds quickly. Like when we were rewinding tape.

You just have to select the Boomerang recording mode and choose, in the icon above, what type of recording you want to do.
