Sony’s slowly increasingly the capabilities of the PS App on iOS and Android smartphones, with its Game Capture functionality becoming available in more territories, following a trial in Canada and Japan. Beginning with the Americas – don’t worry Europe, more regions will follow imminently – you’ll soon be able to access your PS5 screenshots and videos on your phone.
You’ll need to enable the feature by going to Settings > Captures > Auto-Upload on your PS5, but once turned on all of your screenshots and videos will be accessible on your phone. You’ll have a 14-day window from the creation date of your content to download the media to your phone, and of course from there you can share on social media as you please.
It should be stressed that once the 14-day window expires, all of your Create content will remain stored on your PS5’s SSD, but it’ll no longer be accessible on your phone, so make sure you grab any clips or pics quick. Of course, despite the obvious shortcomings, this is still a very neat addition, and it’s something we’ll definitely be taking advantage of. How about you?

Heh my some of my friends spend more time in photo mode than anything else. Makes sense I guess.
It’s a nice feature. Why not.
They released Beta 4 of the upcoming Ps firmware update as well today. Unfortunately still no sign of VRR
Should have been there from launch of the updated app imo. I was doing this on the xbox app 6 years or more ago! Showing friends screenshots and Battlefield 4 kill montages etc.
For anyone that's trialed this, is there a way to push old photos to the app? Or you have to still go the old route of posting it to Twitter and downloading from there?
Next add Themes. Themes is something I always appreciated on PS3/4 along with 3DS and Vita. Like the guy above said VRR would also be nice.
This is just free marketing for them I suppose, but they should get discord running rather than this nonsense. Also, might be nice if they could actually get some PS5s to gamers!
Just tried the feature and it works great. I went into the settings on my PS5, and after a few seconds the Auto-Upload toggle appeared. Turned it on and did some tests, very nice to have this feature now.
@Reeneman VRR?! Settle down pal, it took them almost 3 years to add folders last generation, I think we'll be lucky to get VRR by 2027 😂
Last night my PS5 crashed and I had to wipe everything and reinstall the OS. While it's kinda annoying having to reinstall everything, what really hurt were all my captures of ridiculous deaths in Spelunky 2, together with the exasperated screams and curses that the mic picked up, were also gone. Can't wait for this feature!
Where is my option to backup my saves locally.
@Flaming_Kaiser step 1: buy a 2nd PS5
Step 2: buy a USB splitter so you can plug one controller into both PS5's
Step 3: play same game on both PS5's at the same time
Step 4: save game with piece of mind that you now have a backup save on the 2nd PS5
i noticed . i disabled it . still no web browser or other missing ps4 features though
@RubyCarbuncle Themes would be very expensive unfortunately on ps5. I prefer things as they are personally.
This is nice and all, but I desire folders more so!
