Pokémon GO‘s Camera Feature Gets a Major AR Upgrade

Niantic announced an upgrade for GO Snapshot which is now live, bringing more Pokémon into frame than ever before. New updates to the GO Snapshot feature let players add up to three Pokémon in any photo. Pokémon can move throughout the shot, ensuring the perfect group photo. Like the main series, a new toy can also capture a Pokémon’s attention, making snapshots more dynamic.

GO Snapshot also receives burst mode and a timer to give players additional options to choose from when composing their shots. To access the new GO Snapshot, players can easily select the Camera item in their inventory, or tap the Camera icons within the Pokédex or the menu.
