A little while ago, it was reported that the PlayStation mobile app would be getting a very handy feature. Basically, it would allow you to see your PlayStation 5 screenshots and clips within the app automatically, and from there, it would be much easier to share. This functionality has been available in the US for a couple of months, but it's been MIA in other major regions since.
Today, Sony has finally updated the PS app in Europe — you can now enable the auto-upload of your captures and see them on your smart device.
Having checked it out ourselves, it's very easy — you don't even need to download an update for the app. We opened it up and it immediately told us this feature is now available. To activate it, go to the Game Library, where you'll find a new tab named Captures. Assuming you have your primary console linked up, a single button tap is all that's needed to set up. It's worth mentioning that screenshots and videos taken before you enable the auto-upload will not be uploaded.
Anyway, it's a neat feature that'll make it much easier to quickly share your favourite shots. Will you be making use of this? Tell us in the comments section below.

Don’t have to use twitter anymore now for playstation. Only nintendo is left with implementing this feature now.
At long bloody last. Been waiting for this update forever here in the UK.
Has anyone found a way to auto-upload the automatic captures that happen when you get a trophy? Mine seems to only auto-upload screenshots and videos that I take manually. I also haven’t found a way to manually select captures to upload, so it seems like there’s no way to upload Platinum trophy shots.
Late but better than never.
@darkswabber nintendo is still left with implementing alot of features 😂
I’m in Portland, OR and my app has never worked yet. Sucks because there are some moments I captured In Elden Ring I’d really liked to have sent to my phone for easy access!
they need to update this to allow past captures. annoying.
Ah, my bad. I think this is actually only for PS5. Updated the story — sorry folks!
@Quintumply Ok, I was also wondering about that. Thanks.
@Kidfunkadelic83 true but switch finally has folders and I'm left waiting on PS5 😫 I know people have moaned for them forever and it's a bit boring now but come on Sony bloody hell
Still no clue why they stopped me from being able to post directly to FB.
@ChromaticDracula I found the easiest way - for me, at least - was to link my YouTube account and upload my videos there (set to private, but shareable with link), that way you can access it anywhere really!
@Robbirtles Same, I desperately need PS5 folders so I can hide away all the misc apps I never use.
I like how you can see your PS5's storage on the App AMAZING that is I think + the only thing about each Gen is it seems we have to start all over again :-/ Couldn't all the good features that were on the PS4 we waited years for be on the PS5 from day one???(& the same with the end of life of the PS3. Why couldn't all the excellent features of that console be on the PS4 on day 1 etc etc) It seems we wait for a console to get all these amazing features & then we have to lose most of them for next-gen??? It's getting annoying each Gen starting again really :-/ Oh well.
