Snapmatic returns

Rockstar confirmed

The photo/social app from GTA V is back: Lucia mentions it in the Extended Look, and IGN confirms it is on the phone. Players can browse feeds and follow accounts, but Jason and Lucia cannot post their own photos — Rockstar's Rob Nelson told IGN they are a couple on the run and don't want a digital trail.

Web browsing exists

Rockstar confirmed

Cal Hampton's official bio says he snoops 'with a few beers and some private browser tabs open.' A full in-game internet has not been shown.

Phone as a physical object

Observed in official media

Livestreams (Trunk challenge)

Observed in official media

In the Extended Look, Lucia opens a car trunk to find a teenager mid-stream; the overlay shows a live viewer count and chat, and the stream is watchable. Whether streamers can give the player away to police is not stated.
