WhatsApp does allow users to convert their videos into GIFs. But Instagram’s Boomerang feature on WhatsApp will be something new and exciting.

Initially, the feature will launch on iOS and later on Android phones. Also, WhatsApp is working on a Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app. The app will enable the users to use their account on more than one device that includes both iOS and Android smartphones.

Initially, the Boomerang app was launched back in October 2015. Then in later 2016, the feature was added to the Instagram stories. Now WhatsApp is also working on the Boomerang feature that will enable users to create looping videos. It will be first available for iPhone users and then for Android users.
