Not only is Boomerang, but you can also create a GIF using Samsung’s de facto gallery app. The steps are also quite simple. Keep in mind that this only works on Samsung Galaxy devices.

Steps to follow

1. To create a boomerang, open one of the recorded videos using the Samsung default Gallery app.
   
2. Then press Play video. As soon as the video plays, you will see a GIF icon at the top right. Tap it.
3. If you just want a GIF, just tap Save, located again at the top right. However, to create a Boomerang, press 1.0x. That will change it 2.0x. It will be your new video playback speed.
   
4. Using the slider, you can also cut the video to the desired length.
5. When finished, press the Forward arrow twice. This should add a back-and-forth effect to this video.

That’s it. Just press save or Share and brag about your newly created Boomerang video using Samsung’s default gallery app. What do you think of this tip? Let us know your opinion in the comments section below.
