Get a GoPro Camera Ready for Connection

Prepare your GoPro for pairing with Snappic or other compatible devices.

Written by Rayman

Before connecting your GoPro camera to Snappic (or any other system), you must enable connection mode on the camera. Each GoPro model follows a slightly different process, but all require selecting the GoPro Quik App mode.

Important Notes

  • Enable GoPro Quik App connection mode to pair your device.

  • If you’ve paired the camera before and are having issues, re-enable the connection mode and try again.

  • GoPro does not currently support LiveView — you won’t see a live camera preview in Snappic.


Getting Started

If this is your first time pairing your GoPro — or if you’re receiving connection errors — you’ll need to prepare the camera for pairing.

Each GoPro model has a slightly different menu layout, but the goal is the same:

Enable “Connect Device” and select “GoPro Quik App.”

  1. From the main camera view, swipe down to open the settings panel.

  2. Swipe left to view the right-hand settings page.

  3. Tap Connections → Connect Device → Quik App.


Hero 10 Setup

  1. From the main camera view, swipe down to open settings.

  2. Swipe left to access the settings menu.

  3. Tap Connections → Connect Device → GoPro Quik App.


Hero 11 Setup

  1. From the main camera view, swipe down to open settings.

  2. Swipe left to reveal the settings page.

  3. Tap Preferences → Wireless Connections → Connect Device → GoPro Quik App.

  • If your GoPro doesn’t appear in the connection list, restart both the GoPro and your iPad/iPhone, then try again.

  • Ensure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are both turned on.

  • If you’ve previously paired the GoPro, remove it from your device’s Bluetooth list before reconnecting.

  • Keep your GoPro firmware up to date using the GoPro Quik App.
