Connecting your iPhone to your GoPro camera is easier than ever! With the introduction of Bluetooth technology, you can now wirelessly transfer videos from your GoPro directly to your iPhone with just a few clicks. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the steps of connecting and transferring videos from your GoPro to your iPhone.

First, make sure that both the GoPro and the iPhone are compatible with Bluetooth technology. The GoPro Hero 8 Black and all newer models come with built-in Bluetooth connectivity while the iPhone 6s or later also features Bluetooth capabilities.

Once both devices are compatible, you’ll need to install the free “GoPro Quik: Video Editor” app on your iPhone. This app allows you to transfer videos directly from your GoPro camera to your phone. Once installed, open up the app on both devices and connect them by clicking “Connect” in the top right corner of each app screen.

Once connected, select which video files you want to transfer from the list on the GoPro app. You can either select individual files or multiple files at once by tapping on the checkboxes next to each video clip. When ready to transfer, click “Send” at the bottom of the screen and wait for it to finish transferring over.

After a few moments, you should see a notification appear on both apps indicating that all selected clips have been successfully transferred over. Open up the Quik Video Editor app on your iPhone and you should see all of those clips in there ready for editing!

Congrats! You’ve successfully transferred videos from your GoPro camera to your iPhone! With this method, you can easily and quickly transfer videos without having to worry about dealing with cords or having an internet connection nearby.
