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.”


Hero 9 Setup

  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.


Troubleshooting Connection Issues

  • 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.
