GTA 6 has an in-game social platform: NPC posts go viral, NPCs livestream and can catch you on their streams, and a returning Snapmatic is something the fugitives themselves cannot post to. It is the game's version of the internet, and the reveal trailer was cut like a scroll through it. Confirmed
The feed
Much of Trailer 1 is cut like a scroll through a social feed: parody accounts, Weazel News clips, an alligator wandering into a convenience store, a street takeover, police bodycam footage. The Extended Look made that a game system: NPC posts can go viral, and NPCs who livestream can catch you on their streams. Confirmed
Snapmatic
Snapmatic returns from GTA V. The two leads are fugitives and cannot post to it, which fits a world where being filmed is a way of being found. Confirmed That ties into the Police leads: witnesses with phones are what start a wanted level.
Other phone features
Text messages between Jason Duval and Lucia Caminos float on screen during the showcase's final mission. Previews described a phone app that scans a parked car (Car theft and keys), and Rockstar's radio reveal said the phone will carry podcast-style programming. Reported
