'QuikStories is our biggest leap forward since the invention of the GoPro itself,' says GoPro founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman. The main app communicates with the Quik app so users don't have to jump between the two. To make a QuikStory, users have to pair a HERO5 Black or HERO5 Session GoPro device with their smartphone, open the main GoPro app, and pull down on the home screen, which begins the process of copying the latest footage to create the QuikStory. This removes the need for users to go through a cumbersome editing process for shorter-length footage that they just want to share to social networks like Instagram and Snapchat. Similar to Apple's Memories feature in the iOS Photos app, QuikStories accumulates recent footage captured by the user and generates easily-shareable videos on the user's smartphone.

The company described QuikStories as way for users to easily share cool experiences to social media that they captured on a HERO5 camera. GoPro today announced a new feature for its iOS and Android applications called ' QuikStories,' launching within a rebranded app that's now simply called ' GoPro', which works in conjunction with another app called ' Quik'.
