Instagram does not support the GIF format. The way to share GIF-LIKE videos on Instagram is by using the BOOMERANG from Instagram.
BOOMERANG is an Instagram video app that takes bursts of photos and stitches or combines the images in a mini video that plays forward and backward.
These short, action-packed videos can be shared on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. For Instagram, it is available for IOS devices on the App Store and Android devices on the Google play store.
The Instagram Boomerang is not the same as Boomerang tools for outlook, Gmail, and mobile devices.
Using Boomerang is quite straightforward, easy and it is free.
Making a Boomerang video and posting it entails.
1) Firstly, download Boomerang from Instagram from the App Store or Google play store
2) Secondly, tap OK when Boomerang asks for access to your camera.
3) Thirdly, tap OK when Boomerang asks for permission to access your photos.
4) Fourthly, tap the circle icon at the lower-right corner of the screen to select either the front or rear-facing camera
5)Also, point the camera at what you like to shoot, then tap the Record button (white button). This takes a burst of ten photos and stitches it together, speeding up the sequence to create a mini video.
6) Lastly, a preview of your GIF-LIKE mini-video is displayed. The video loops back to the start when it finishes.
