How to live-upload Sony photos to WhatsApp

Connect your Sony to your phone and every shot lands in WhatsApp live as you shoot. Here's the full setup, start to finish:

  1. 1

    Connect your Sony

    Connect over USB with the camera in PC Remote mode for a stable, high-speed tether. Or tether over Wi-Fi. Note: in PC Remote, some Sony bodies route captures to the buffer rather than the card — both work with CloudTether.

  2. 2

    Connect WhatsApp

    Sends through your own Twilio WhatsApp sender. Pick where photos should land — send each shot to a WhatsApp number as you capture it — instant proofs without a gallery link.

  3. 3

    Shoot as normal

    Every frame your Sony captures is detected and downloaded at full resolution while you keep shooting — JPEG, or RAW on Pro.

  4. 4

    Photos deliver to WhatsApp

    Each photo uploads from your phone once and lands in WhatsApp live, seconds after the shutter — and fans out to any other destinations on the session too (Pro).
