So, after you've downloaded and installed the GoPro app from the App Store, open it up. You'll probably be prompted to create an account or sign in if you already have one. Go ahead and do that. This account will be linked to your GoPro devices and any cloud storage you might use. Once you are signed in, the app will guide you through the process of connecting to your GoPro. The app will usually ask you to select your GoPro model, in this case, the GoPro 7. After selecting your model, the app will provide step-by-step instructions. These instructions will guide you through turning on your GoPro, going into its settings, and enabling the Wi-Fi connection.
