Pokemon Go Snapshot: How to use Pokemon Go Snapshot on Android and iOS

Pokemon Go Snapshot was recently announced by Niantic as their newest AR addition to the popular mobile game.

And there are rumours that the new camera feature will unlock some kind of encounter with a special Pokemon in the future.

So there is a lot of interest in finding just how to use Pokemon Go Snapshot on Android and iOS.

Luckily, Niantic has shared a full guide on the best way to use their new AR feature, before anything else is announced for it.

Previously, Trainers were limited to taking photos of Pokémon that they encountered in the wild.

This has changed with the release of Pokemon Go Snapshot, which allows Trainers to do more with their collection.

Trainers can now control placement of their Pokémon in the photo by throwing the Pokémon’s Poké Ball before they take a photo.

This is just one of a number of new features available when using the AR camera, with Trainers also able to guide the Pokémon by brushing across it to get its attention.

For a dynamic photo, Pokemon Go players can tap the Pokémon to make it move around or show off a move.

HOW TO USE POKEMON GO SNAPSHOT

As mentioned above, Trainers can now select any Pokémon in their Pokémon bag to pose and take a picture of it with their camera.

Here’s the guide Niantic have posted, providing the steps needed to use the new feature.

It should be noted that Pokemon Go Snapshot is available to all Trainer above Level 5.

  1. Tap on the Pokémon you want to take an GO Snapshot of in your Pokémon Storage.
  2. Tap the camera icon in the upper-right corner.
  3. If you are not using AR+, then your Pokémon will already be placed for you.
  4. If you are using AR+, slowly pan your camera over a flat, open surface (like the ground or a tabletop). A shimmery effect with yellow footsteps will appear once your device has detected your environment.
  5. Tap on the shimmery effect to place your Pokémon on the flat surface.
  6. You can move around to find the best angles for your shot. Tap your Pokémon and it will strike a pose. You can also brush your Pokémon to get its attention.
  7. Once ready, tap the camera icon to take your GO Snapshot. You can take multiple shots and they are saved to your device’s memory.
  8. When your photo shoot is over, tap the exit icon in the upper-left corner. You’ll then see a gallery of your photos from that photoshoot.

Here’s more from Niantic, who explain: “In addition to a more convenient and simplified photo setup, Trainers will notice that the Pokémon that they take photos of have a sense of presence and weight to them.

“GO Snapshot utilizes new shadows for each Pokémon, displaying a sense of size and motion as they arrive into a scene. Scale is also key, and GO Snapshot will subtly guide Trainers to find the perfect setting for Pokémon of all sizes.”
