How to live-upload to WhatsApp from your camera

No laptop, no cables to a computer, no SD-card import — connect your camera 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 camera

    Tether your camera to your phone over USB or the camera's own Wi-Fi — CloudTether supports Canon, Sony, Nikon and Fujifilm bodies.

  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 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 seconds after the shutter — and fans out to any other destinations on the session too (Pro).

Beam every keeper straight into WhatsApp as you shoot. Powered by your own Twilio WhatsApp Business sender — fan each photo out to one or many recipients for instant client previews, second-shooter handoffs, or producer sign-off.
