How to use new Slo-mo, Echo and Duo boomerang effects on Instagram

ICYMI, this weekend, Instagram rolled out a new set of effects for Boomerang on Instagram Stories. To compete with TikTok, Instagram has added new Slo-mo, Echo and Duo effects to the feature. But what’s different in these effects? Slo-mo is self-explanatory, the short boomerang shows in slow motion with this effect. The Echo effect blurs the video a little and a trail of the subject follows. It’s quite similar to the haze you see when you are drunk out of your mind. Sorry, the weekend’s still rubbing off on me. The Duo effect makes the video look a bit glitch-y with horizontal lines. It also moves up the speed of the video.

Another major update is that you can now trim the boomerang as per your convenience. [caption id=“attachment_7898101” align=“alignnone” width=“813”] Newly introduced boomerang effects.[/caption]
