Tinder Loops: How to Add 'Boomerang Style' Video in Profile

Tinder lets you add a custom GIF to your platform profile photos. Available on Android and iPhone (iOS), the Tinder Loops feature lets you choose a video in your phone's library and edit length and speed to look like an Instagram "Boomerang Style" clip.

The feature does not allow you to open your phone's camera to record a video in real time. So, it should be filmed before, and imported into the app from the gallery. On iPhone, Live Photos are also compatible with the tool. Check out the following tutorial on how to use Tinder Loops to create a GIF on the avatar and highlight your profile to win more matches in the relationship app.
