@@insta360tutorials You shouldn't have to buy an expensive new phone just so you can activate the camera you just bought!! That is absurd.
@@thespiritoftheglen This times 1000. I do not want or need a new phone, but if I want to buy Insta360 I have to buy a new phone as well JUST TO ACTIVATE IT. I understand the performance requirements for EDITING but, Insta360, why don't you come down off your high horse and make a simple app that will JUST activate the camera. Or at least give people another way to ACTIVATE their cameras. Talk about designing inside an echo chamber.
@@thespiritoftheglen Just ran into the same problem, I thought i did enough research before i bought it but not being able to even run the app on my phone to activate it is just fucking retarded. At least it is when you spend this amount of money on a camera.
I cant even find the app on the appstore i guess because my phone is not supported and downloading it from their website wont let me install it, I again assume because my phone version doesn't match the installer.
So now I have spent hundreds of dollars on a camera that I can't even activate and why should i even have to activate it to begin with, It's a camera ffs, I guess they gotta collect as much info as possible about their users, The money was not enough apparently.
So now I have to figure out a way to virtualize a phone to activate it, Borrow someones phone to activate it, Or buy a new phone, Or return their trash back to them. So far i am not impressed by the software/spyware that came with this camera and all the responses i see from 360 staff on this subject sounds like bots completely disregarding how incredibly stupid this whole ordeal is, If their software is so ultra taxing on hardware that it can only run on a few select phones but that same app has to be used to activate your camera then that is something that needs to be on the front page of the advertisements, Or just simply make a standalone activation app or being able to activate it trough their official website.
I am fucking pissed at how easily this could be fixed and it should be when you spend this amount of money.
Not being able to use a camera without connecting via an app is major fail. I understand you're desperate to get access to customers data. And, speaking of that, your privacy policy is horrendous.
Hi there, we're really sorry you've had a negative experience. Please understand that editing in the App with our AI-powered features is essential to the entire user experience we provided, especially when considering 360 footage is different from flat footage. We understand your concern about the safety of personal information, but your personal data will not be included in any form of our data collection.

I bought a whole other phone just for this crap.
I'm going out hiking how do you connect the insta 360 x3 to my phone and take photos and videos WITHOUT WIFI can you Bluetooth the both together on a selfie stick..
I have exactly the same question !
@@rasspaille you can't connect your phone without WiFi...
I ended up purchasing the remote which uses Bluetooth to connect to the camera this works but to a limited use, as the remote only takes photos or videos but doesn't adjust settings on the camera..
I hope this helps...
@@scotchxrp Oh yes you helped me x100! Thanks for the details!
Damn, I'm disappointed that you can't pilot with your phone, only via Bluetooth, I don't know about you, but me I would have liked to be able to keep the camera on my helmet or my backpack, and be able to start for a while walking on a high mountain ridge or on a climbing route or via ferrata etc!
It's annoying to have to access the camera on the helmet or on the boom to turn it on...
I'll look to see if there's an unofficial Android app perhaps..
It tells me "Please go to your phones system setting - WIF_ Smart Network Switch and turn it off" and this does not even exist on my phone
Hi there! May I have your phone model? Normally, there is a switch button in Wi-Fi settings to enable Smart Network Switch. Thank you in advance for your time and feedback!
@@insta360tutorials Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. They changed the way the settings were recently.
I have the same issue on a Samsung S21 Ultra.
I cannot connect it to my phone and cannot update the camera firmware.
At this point I have given up on using the insta360 app.

@@Rhold07 If you look, you will see that you can ignore the message. Do that and you will manage to connect.
Is it possible to transfer files over USB C port to my iPad? If not, I’ll return it today as the waiting time over wifi is ridiculous.

Can you guys do a video on the new buttons on the x3, the Q button and the pages button
I just got my camera today, I have used it for less than 10 minutes and its started overheating.
I can't connect with my phone. Plz help
Hi there, sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing.
Let's follow the steps below to do some troubleshooting.
Step 1: Please check if your camera firmware version and the APP version are the latest (v1.0.23 or above for X3 / v1.28.0 or above for the APP). If not, it is recommended to upgrade and re-test.
Step 2: If the issue continues, please check if you can detect the X3's Wi-Fi signal normally and follow the Q2&Q3 troubleshooting advice in this link: onlinemanual.insta360.com/x3/en-us/faq/troubleshooting
Hope these solutions can work! If the issue persists, please get in touch with us via email at service@insta360.com and provide a screen recording to show your workflow. We'll be supportive to assist you further. Thank you!

Hi @genenterpriseshk1697, we are so sorry for the inconvenience.
To serve you better:
1. Can you let me know which type of camera you're using and whether the firmware is up to date?
2. What is the version of your mobile app?
3. Could you provide any error screenshots?
Please send the above responses to service@insta360.com or directly consult Insta360 Support via the app or the official website. There will be someone to provide you with further help. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Please tell how to access internet in mobile after connecting with camera. I dont have any sim in my phone so i use wifi only.
Hi there, sorry that since the camera requires a Wi-Fi connection while connecting to the phone, the phone needs the mobile data to have the internet. If the mobile doesn't have a sim, I'm afraid the phone wouldn't have internet during connecting to the camera.
If you would like to edit the video in the app with the internet, you can download the files to the app album first, then change the Wi-Fi to home Wi-Fi to edit. Thanks for your understanding!
I just bought mine I got yesterday doesn’t connect to the phone apps even though I try all the steps. Regret buying it I should have get a go pro! Return this one
Hi there, sincerely sorry for the negative experience. Did you check if the camera's Wi-Fi can be detected on your phone's Wi-Fi settings page? What is your phone model? It would be appreciated if you could provide a screen recording to us via email at service@insta360.com. We will provide further solutions for you ASAP. Thanks a lot!
As you should, I found out about this epic fail shit camera too late, now I missed the return policy window, and stuck with a camera I can’t control on distance, PEOPLE!! BE AWARE, YOUR CAMERA WILL EVENTUALLY STOP CONNECTING TO YOUR PHONE!
Every time it tries to connect but it can't. Then i have to go to wifi and do manually like a router. But when i connect it with wifi my data stop working
Hi there,
Do you mean that the camera cannot connect to the app directly in the Insta360 app? In theory, you still can enable mobile data to get the internet when the camera connects to the app via Wi-Fi. Does there have any error messages when the data stopped working? Would you provide a screen recording to us for further checking?
Please get in touch with our support team via email at service@insta360.com. We will assist further. Thanks for your understanding!

DO you need a phone specification?
My phone seems to only be transferring footage over Bluetooth instead of wifi, and it's transferring at .01mb/s. If I go into my phone's wifi settings and manually connect to the cameras wifi it goes much faster, is there a way to set the app to use wifi by default?
Hi Rob! Normally X3 can only transfer files via Wi-Fi by default at a speed over 150Mbps. Please update the App version and camera firmware version to the latest and see if it works better.

The icon in my X3 is not just a computer icon, but a computer with a wifi icon. When I tap that icon, it says that I have to turn on wifi and Bluetooth (which of course it always on in my phone). And that's it. I then try to connect the wifi manually, but it ask password. I tried to find the password, but still no luck until I write this comment. Can anybody help me?
Oh I found the password in Himalayan Solo Travel: 88888888 Thank you.
Can we connect the Insta 360 X3 to more than one mobile phone device? For example if we have an Android and iPhone both so will it be possible to connect the camera to both the phones?
I'm sorry, but it is not possible to connect the Insta360 X3 to more than one mobile phone device at the same time. The camera can only be connected to one mobile device, at any given moment. Hope it helps!
This video needs to be updated where is the part to connect to the Wi-Fi?
Hi there, please follow the steps below:
1. Turn on WiFi and Bluetooth on your phone.
2. Turn on X3.
3. Open the Insta360 app and tap the yellow camera icon at the bottom of the page.
4. Here you should see your camera listed. The name of your camera is "X3 ******" by default, where ****** is the last six digits of the serial number on the box your X3 came in.
5. If connecting for the first time, a prompt will appear on the app and you will need to confirm the connection on the camera’s touch screen.
6. If the above does not work, go to the phone's WiFi settings and search for your X3. Tap to connect, then return to the app.

Hi, i just have a little question (i'm french, sorry for mistakes): Will i be able to transfer the videos on my iphone during a trek with no wifi, but only with my mobile data?

I bought today , and I can't connect to my phone , it's shows smart switch off but there is no option ,help me i used samsung filp 4 phone
Hi there,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Please check if your phone can detect X3's Wi-Fi signal. If it can, please connect it manually with Wi-Fi password 88888888 and try again.
If there is no Wi-Fi signal of X3 on the system settings page of your phone, please follow the steps below to troubleshoot.
Step 1: Please make sure that the phone can search for other Wi-Fi signals to confirm that the Wi-Fi function of the phone is normal.
Step 2: Please use other devices or computers that support 5GHz Wi-Fi to test whether the camera's Wi-Fi signal can be detected normally;
a: If one of the devices can search for signals (no need to connect), then it proves that the camera can broadcast Wi-Fi signals normally. Please check whether it is the mobile phone lacking support searching for 5GHz Wi-Fi signals (please check the mobile phone specification: if it is not marked to support dual-band Wi-Fi or 802.11a/ac, then it is likely that the phone does not support this); if it is not supported by the phone, please refer to the steps below to switch the Wi-Fi frequency of X3 to 2.4GHz.
Android: open the app-enter "Settings" and tap "Set the current region to camera"-select Indonesia-click on "Set to the camera", restart the camera and check again.
b: If all devices cannot detect your camera’s Wi-Fi signal, the camera may not be able to broadcast Wi-Fi signals normally, please contact us for assistance. Our email address is service@insta360.com. Thanks for your kind patience!

Why when i connect my x3 to my phone, it turns wifi and turns on 4g? It is really annoying! I dont want to use my data to update software and stuff! Please any fix?
Sorry for the inconvenience. The connection between the camera and the Insta360 app is made via the camera's Wi-Fi signal. When the camera is linked to your phone, because most smartphones can only connect to one Wi-Fi network at a time, you would need to use cellular data to continue other phone activities. If you prefer not to use cellular data, you can disable it while your phone is connected to the camera. You can then download the files you need to edit to the app from the camera's album within the app. Once the download is complete, you can disconnect the camera and reconnect your phone to your home or other available Wi-Fi network to edit the content in the app.
Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, please contact service@insta360.com.

The Insta360 app is an advanced, AI-powered editing suite and as such requires a certain level of processing power to run smoothly. It is therefore recommended to only use android mobile devices that meet Exynos 9810 and the above chips.
We checked the spec of the Samsung A13, and sorry to let you know that it has a bit lower than the requirement. Meanwhile, the camera can work independently after activating, you can shoot by the camera itself, then edit and share the clips through our computer software, Insta360Studio.
With any questions, please feel free to contact us at service@insta360.com directly for more help. Thank you!
@@insta360tutorials This is dumb. Reading the other comments on all the problems getting the X3 to activate. I have the same problem with insta360 app not compatible with my good working android phone with latest software updates. I dont have the camera, but wanted to make sure your app software would work, which it does not.
What if I don't have a friend that has a working phone to activate your camera????
What do people do about that????? Return your camera for refund????
What information are you getting from my phone by activation????
Why doesn't the app work with all smart phones?????
Why do we have to jump through hoops just to get a camera to work???? Again this is stupid.
You have a serial number in the phone which would work with your insta360 studio software on my PC laptop. That makes more sense than this activation nightmare.
@dathyr1 Sincere apologies! Please allow us to explain that the design of the activation setting is to make sure the product you receive is brand new, not refurbished or fake product. As kindly explained before, the app has an AI-powered editing suite, so it requires a certain level of processing power to run smoothly. In theory, if the app can be installed on your devices, you can activate the camera normally. If you met any questions during activating, please feel free to contact us at service@insta360.com directly for more help. Thanks for your understanding!
@Insta360 Tutorials now I understand, if I want this app to work on my phone then i must have phone that is more expensive than your camera 🤣🤣🤣
do i need my phone to rec exampel if im running
Hi there, X3 can shoot solely without connecting with a phone, unless you want to use app's functions or record with GPS data and you do not have a remote or other GPS module device which can be connected with the camera.
Thank you for asking and if there are any further questions, please feel free to contact us anytime via service@insta360.com.
Is there a way to connect via Bluetooth?
I'm afraid WiFi connection is necessary since bluetooth connection is mainly for GPS remote and Airpods, etc. If you have more concerns, please feel free to reach out to our service team via email at the address service@insta360.com for further assistance.
Sorry for the inconvenince csaued~

If not, please describe your problem in an email to service@insta360.com, and our technical team would be glad to assist you.

Yes, you can also take photos via the phone app after connecting.

Question:
My wife and I want to use the camera.
I have Android, she has iPhone.
Can we use the camera on the two different phones concurrently?
Does the activation affect this at all?
Hi there, it is sorry to let you know that the camera cannot be connected to two phones concurrently. I will collect the feedback here and forward them to our R&D group for further evaluation. Thanks again for your valuable suggestion!
Bluetooth is fine, but the wifi connection fails. My Samsung phone doesn't pick-up the X3 as a nearby device to connect to via wifi.
Apologize for the inconvenience you are facing.

@@insta360tutorials Please note that I've checked my phone to see if it supports 5ghz wifi signals, but it does not. I assume this is the reason why my phone cannot detect the camera's wifi signal?
Yes it could be. Please refer to the steps below to switch the Wi-Fi frequency of X3 to 2.4GHz.
--Android: open the app-enter "Settings" and tap "Set the current region to camera"-select Indonesia-click on "Set to the camera", restart the camera and check again.
--iOS: open the phone system settings, select Indonesia under region-return to the app page-reselect the camera's signal-try to connect.
If the issue continues, please contact us via email at service@insta360.com for further assistance.
@@insta360tutorials Hi, it's OK. I decided to buy a new Samsung 5g phone to better suit the camera. The screen on my old phone was broken anyway and I was planning to replace it. I'll set the X3 up this week.
i was wondering if it worked for you ? i had a s23 ultra but couldnt get it to pass the activation phase due to wifi bs i did all the changes and still nothing. so just used one of my kids ipad to get pass the activation part.@@gavinkalaher7314
Ugh tell me I just wasted money on this camera. I downloaded app and tried scanning QR code and it fails every time. Phone was even connected to wifi. I tried pairing devices with phone but it asks for password which I don't have.
Hi there, sorry for the inconvenience caused. The Wi-Fi password is 88888888 by default. Please try again. If these issues continue, please get in touch with us via service@insta360.com, with the details of your phone model and a screen recording of your workflow to connect the camera. We'll provide you with further support. Thank you!
@@insta360tutorials I got a hold of support and turns out my phone doesn't support the app. Soo unfortunately I bought a 500 dollar paperweight
No conect to iPhone 13 iOS 15.6.1
😢 2 days in my Home and phone dont activate .
Please go to the mobile phone system page to check whether the Wi-Fi is connected;
* If it is not connected, please make sure that the entered Wi-Fi password is 88888888, restart the camera and mobile phone, then try again;
* If the phone still cannot connect to the Wi-Fi, please click on the Wi-Fi, and try again after forgetting the network;
* If it still fails, try other mobile devices to enter the password to connect to confirm whether it is the phone's issue or the camera's.
If the system settings page has shown the connection, but the app page shows that it cannot be connected or not connected (Android phones), please go to the app's settings page, turn on "Force Connect" mode, reconnect and try again.
* If it still doesn't work, please confirm that GPS positioning permission has been enabled for Insta360 app;
* If it still doesn't work, please go to the phone system settings to make sure the WLAN+ or automatic Wi-Fi switch option is off if there is an option.
It's not connecting it keeps connecting via wifi and not bluetooth
Hi there! May we ask if you mean that you cannot connect your camera to the Insta360 app via Bluetooth? X3 connects to the Insta360 app via Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth serves as an auxiliary connection. If we misunderstood your meaning, or if you encounter issues connecting your camera to the app via Wi-Fi, please contact Insta360 Support on the official website or app. or you can send an email directly to service@insta360.com. Our support team will further follow up. Thank you for your understanding!

@insta360tutorials I tried everything, I then uninstalled SurfShark VPN and it connected without issue, dissapointing that I had to go that far to connect

Mine is telling me Open Network settings and connect to wifi, but I'm connected and honestly, I'm tempted to return it just because of that

@@insta360tutorials Will do
Same here
Bluetooth pin not working. I need to tell everone until this is fixed
Hi there, please be aware that the connection relies on the Wi-Fi broadcasted by X3. If you're looking to connect with the camera manually, it's recommended you do this via Wi-Fi.
I've tried so many way to connect I still can not connect
same as me. it happens after I updated the firmware of my new X3.
Hi there,
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Please check if your phone can detect X3's Wi-Fi signal. If it can, please connect it manually with Wi-Fi password 88888888 and try again.
If there is no Wi-Fi signal of X3 on the system settings page of your phone, please follow the steps below to troubleshoot.
Step 1: Please make sure that the phone can search for other Wi-Fi signals to confirm that the Wi-Fi function of the phone is normal.
Step 2: Please use other devices or computers that support 5GHz Wi-Fi to test whether the camera's Wi-Fi signal can be detected normally;
a: If one of the devices can search for signals (no need to connect), then it proves that the camera can broadcast Wi-Fi signals normally. Please check whether it is the mobile phone lacking support searching for 5GHz Wi-Fi signals (please check the mobile phone specification: if it is not marked to support dual-band Wi-Fi or 802.11a/ac, then it is likely that the phone does not support this); if it is not supported by the phone, please refer to the steps below to switch the Wi-Fi frequency of X3 to 2.4GHz.
Android: open the app-enter "Settings" and tap "Set the current region to camera"-select Indonesia-click on "Set to the camera", restart the camera and check again.
iOS: open the phone system settings, select Indonesia under region-return to the app page-reselect the camera's signal-try to connect.
b: If all devices cannot detect your camera’s Wi-Fi signal, the camera may not be able to broadcast Wi-Fi signals normally, please contact us for assistance. Our email address is service@insta360.com. Thanks for your kind patience!
