Select OK to allow Boomerang to use your camera.

Decide to allow Boomerang to access your location. Read the description and select Don't Allow or Allow as desired.

If you don't want to use the front camera, tap the two curved arrows in the lower right corner of the screen to switch cameras.

Tap the lightning bolt icon in the circle in the upper right corner of the screen to turn the flash on or off.

Touch and hold the shutter button to record. When the last photo is taken, your looping video will appear.

To share a new looping video on Facebook or Instagram, tap one of the apps at the bottom of the screen, and then send or post the video.

Tap More to share with another app.

Tap SAVE in the upper-right corner of the screen. This is the operation to save the video to the Camera Roll.

Using Looper

Download Looper. Looper is the only free app that lets you create a looped version of a video on your iPhone without losing the audio or having to purchase an app. To download Looper, do the following:

• Open the iPhone's App Store.
• Tap Search.
• Tap the search bar.
• Type looper, and then select Search.

Swipe down the screen until you see a red app with a white infinity icon, then select GET.

Enter your iPhone's Touch ID (or Apple ID password) when prompted.

Open Looper. Tap OPEN in the App Store, or tap the Looper app icon on the iPhone home screen.

Tap + at the top of the Looper screen. You will see a menu appear here.

View the camera roll. You will be taken here after tapping the Camera Roll.

Tap All Photos when asked. Your iPhone's camera roll opens.

Select video. Swipe down the screen until you find the video you want to loop, then tap it.

Contrary to what you might think, the oldest videos will show up at the top of Looper's list; you need to swipe to the bottom of the list to see the latest video.

Tap Choose in the bottom-right corner of the screen. This is the operation to open the video in Looper.

Tap the red repeat button in the lower right corner of the screen.

Drag the slider at the bottom of the screen to the right. Once the white button reaches the end of the slider, you'll see 'Play clip indefinitely' above the slider. That means the video will loop up to 50 times.

If you just want the video to loop a few times, don't drag the button on the slider to the end point on the right; instead, drag until you see "Play # Times" for the number of iterations you want.

Tap the checkmark at the far right of the slider.

Tap the video and select the 'Download' icon at the bottom of the screen.

Tap Yes when asked. This is what allows Looper to export your video.

Select the display mode for the video. Tap Portrait or Landscape depending on whether you recorded the video in portrait or landscape.

Tap Yes when asked. This allows Looper to save your video to the camera roll.

Tap Ok when you see the "Success" message. Your looping video is now saved to the Photos app.

You can watch a looping video by opening the Photos app, finding and tapping the video.
