This was modified with the 1.17 patch update in which it can be turned on or off.
As of the 1.16 patch update, players were able to double tap up on the D-Pad as a shortcut to open Snapmatic. The Enhanced and PC versions include a video editor which incorporate Snapmatic functionality on replay/edit. Lazlow later confirms this on his Bleeter that "the video of the dance is blurry". Although in the mission Fame or Shame, Trevor is seen recording a video of Lazlow's half-naked dance and even says he's "got it all on (his) phone". As pedestrians have the ability to record videos of the crimes of protagonists, the player themselves can only take simple pictures. Furthermore, it cannot be used while swimming or while underwater. The player is also not allowed to use Snapmatic when flying a plane upside-down. The player is not allowed to use Snapmatic while in cover. While saving a photo to the server, it will automatically synchronise the Bawsaq website and game progress to the players' Social Club account. Snapmatic appears to have two different versions of its yellow camera logo. PS4, Xbox One and PC version This article or section refers to "enhanced version" content in the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC renditions of Grand Theft Auto V and/or Grand Theft Auto Online, that is absent on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 versions.įor a complete list of the features of the "enhanced" version of Grand Theft Auto V, please see here. Filters, borders and meme text was added with the Holiday Gifts. Players are limited to 96 saved images (capacity counter appears in the top right corner of the HUD when taking photos). The images are captured in 640x360 resolution. Users can enter these contests by hashtagging their pictures with a certain phrase ( #ThanksCargobob for example). These contests have a certain theme, and the prizes for winning range from money gifts in-game to real-life souvenirs.
Occasionally, there will be Snapmatic photo contests held on the Social Club. As of December 24, Snapmatic has received brand new features, including depth of field adjustment, filters, and even a meme-maker, which makes it even more like Instagram.
Just like Instagram, players can "hashtag" (#) their photos on the Social Club site. Players can use Snapmatic via the in-game phone to take and upload pictures to the Social Club (You must have a Social Club account to save photos). The name may be a parody of the photo messaging application Snapchat. It is likely based on Instagram, an online photo-sharing, video-sharing, and social networking service.
