Original Article, February 12, 2019 (04:30 PM ET): Today, Niantic Labs announced a new feature for Pokémon Go that will make augmented reality (AR) and Pokémon fans very happy — Go Snapshot.
Previously, you could only take AR photos of Pokémon that you encounter in the wild with AR+. With Go Snapshot, you can take AR photos of any Pokémon in your storage. When you select a Pokémon, you’ll see a camera icon that takes you to the snapshot tool. From there, just toss a Poké Ball wherever you want to position the Pokémon.
If you’re not a fan of your Pikachu’s initial positioning, you can move them around for the perfect angle. You can also tap or brush a Pokémon to get their attention. Finally, any picture you take with Go Snapshot is automatically saved to your phone’s gallery.
Talking with The Verge, Niantic game designer Laura Warner said the idea behind Go Snapshot is for players to take more photos and to have an easier time taking those photos. “We just realized we should make it easier for them to take pictures. At any time of day, on any adventure a person is on, they should be able to take a picture with a Pokémon in their inventory.”
Niantic said the Go Snapshot feature will launch “soon” on both iOS and Android.
