PlayStation announced the new feature on their official Twitter account on Wednesday.
“We’re gradually rolling out the ability to share your PS5 game captures through PS App in more regions,” the tweet read.
“[The] Americas are first up, with more countries next month,” the PlayStation officials added.
As of right now, the ability to send captures from your PS5 to your phone is only available in North America, according to Games Radar.
However, per PlayStation’s support page, other regions such as Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Japan, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay, are “supported countries” likely getting the upgrade next month.
Once the feature is live and enabled, images captured from your PS5 will automatically upload to the cloud and be accessible via the PlayStation app, which is available on both iOS and Android.

After the screen-grabs are available on the app, users can them can save them to their phones, send them to PlayStation friends, or share them on social media.
Sony began testing the feature in Canada and Japan in October of 2021.
It has also been previously available in the United States, albeit for only about a 24-hour time frame, according to a report from The Verge.
That version of the feature, however, seemed to have glitches and required more actions to access the screenshots on the app.
It seems Sony has made the process less cumbersome with the updated version.
Fans seemed excited for the new feature to roll out, taking to Twitter to share their joy.
“Niceeeeee, finally!” one user wrote.
“Yeaaaah!! Wooooo, finally,” a second added.
