Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to activate the cheats on GTA 5, I think you might be interested in learning more about this possibility.
Well, the cheats are a very interesting component of the Rockstar video game series, as myriads of gamers have enjoyed doing practically what they wanted through them, starting with generation of amazing vehicles.
In GTA 5 you can enable a certain selection of tricks which allow, for example, to obtain invincibility for a period of 5 minutes, as well as to make vehicles like the Rapid GT appear; not to mention the super jump. In short, I understand the reason that pushes you to want to learn how to use the tricks and in fact this tutorial is here for this.
Before leaving, however, I remind you that you can only use these tricks in the Story mode of GTA 5 (so no GTA Online) and that often the latter can block the achievement of trophies in the game in which they are activated.
If you care about trophies, I recommend you start another game and to use the latter to try out the tricks, so as not to “affect” your main adventure. Generally trophies should only be deactivated for one session, but better not to “risk”.

How to save the tricks on GTA 5
How do you say? You are “tired” of having to re-enter the tricks every time and would like to save them, so as to activate them quickly? I’ll explain the situation immediately.
Well, unfortunately it is not possible to save the tricks, since there is no dedicated section within the character’s mobile. In short, they they must be reinserted each time by hand. So you just have to do that write down the various combinations and always keep them close at hand.
Perfect, now you know everything there is to know regarding the possibility of using cheats on GTA 5. Since you are a fan of the Rockstar title, I would recommend that you take a look at the page on my site dedicated to GTA, where you can find many other tutorials that might be right for you.
