Samsung collaborates with Instagram, Snapchat to offer full camera quality in their apps

During the launch of the Galaxy S24 series at the Galaxy Unpacked 2024 event, Samsung has partnered with Instagram and Snapchat to offer the same camera quality on the apps as the stock camera app on the Galaxy S24 series. With this update, these third-party photo and video-sharing platforms will be able to take full advantage of the capabilities of the primary camera of Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra. 

Specifically, users will be able to leverage Samsung's "Super HDR" option, upgraded "Nightography" power and video stabilization within Instagram and Snapchat's in-app cameras. The only caveat here is that for video stabilization, users will need to have it enabled in the native camera settings first. 

Samsung's collaboration with Instagram goes deeper, offering upgraded editing, uploading and viewing experiences tailored to its devices. These also include the ability to create Instagram stories directly from motion photos. With their Super HDR capabilities, the Galaxy S24 devices are also the first to receive HDR photo support on Instagram — likely marking the first of many more apps to potentially support this vibrant display format in the near future. 

With its new AI capabilities playing a big role in the Galaxy S24 lineup's camera systems, it's no wonder that Samsung is pushing its camera integration into the two popular social media platforms. Still, you'll probably want to stick to the native camera app and editing tools for maximum versatility — especially when it comes to the more AI-specific tools like "Edit Suggestion," "Generative Edit" (network connection required) and "Instant Slow-mo."
