This is not the first time Whatsapp is adopting a feature from Instagram. In 2017, WhatsApp started a ‘Status’ feature which is virtually the same as ‘Instagram Stories’ that was introduced six months earlier.
Let’s talk about the Boomerang feature for a second, this feature takes after a traditional boomerang. It takes a short video that is then played forward and backward in a loop. The feature will be available on WhatsApp under the video type section only if the duration is less than 7 seconds. You can then send the Boomerang video to your contacts, groups or status.
This feature is not available yet but it is likely to reach the WhatsApp Beta users first. It will be a nice addition considering it will give users a new feature to play with. Looking at the success it had with Instagram, you can expect the same on WhatsApp too
