Wired Connection for GoPro

Updated over a week ago

Requirements:

  • Make sure that Snappic has all of the necessary permissions enabled in the settings of your iPhone/iPad:

    1. Go to the iPhone [Settings]

    2. Scroll all the way down and tap on [Apps]

    3. Select [Snappic]

    4. Enable [Local Network], [Bluetooth], [Microphone], and [Camera]

  • The GoPro must be paired wirelessly (via the GoPro Quik App) to the same single device prior to establishing a wired connection. Please ensure that there is only one single device paired to the GoPro.

  • If your GoPro was previously paired with another device, you may need to reset the GoPro to factory settings so that it can be paired to a new device without interruption. Reset the GoPro to factory settings by navigating to [Preferences] - [Reset] - [Factory Reset].
