Pokemon GO reveals new “GO Snapshot” feature

Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments

Niantic has announced a new feature for Pokemon GO. The company today revealed “GO Snapshot”, which will be a way for players to take photos of any Pokemon they have in their Pokemon Storage. It can be found when looking at specific Pokemon or accessing the camera in your Bag of items.

Here’s how it works:

It’s simple to use. Select a Pokémon and tap on the screen to throw its Poké Ball to that spot. Once your Pokémon is situated in the ideal spot, you can then move around it to find the best angle for your photo. Is your Pokémon distracted or looking the wrong way? Brush across it to get its attention, and it will be sure to face you.
Take as many photos as you like during your session. Once you’re finished, all photos are saved to your device automatically! It’s also easier than ever to share your favorite photo via social media. Just select the linked social channel you want to share with, and you can show your friends your masterpiece with a couple of quick taps.

GO Snapshot will be added to Pokemon GO “soon”.
