How to capture scrolling screenshot on any android phone


One of the most useful features of OnePlus 5/Samsung galaxy S8/Samsung galaxy note 5 can be had on any Android phone which is 'Scroll capture', that allows you to take longer, scrolling screenshots of a whole page. There are a ton of apps which let you stitch together screenshots manually to make them into one file, but that's a pain. Here's how to get the scrolling screenshot feature on your Android without the hassle.

Introduced to Samsung users on the Note 5, and majorly improved upon for the Galaxy S7, was a nifty feature called 'Capture more'. This allowed you to take a single long screenshot of a page, from the top and scrolling all the way to bottom, in one file. This feature is back in the spotlight now, thanks to OnePlus 5, under the new moniker 'Scrolling screenshot. With the popularity of the OnePlus 5, and all the hype about its amazing features, more people are wondering how to capture longer screenshots on their Android phones. While it's not a feature available into Android natively, that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Capturing a screenshot on an Android device is pretty simple. Press the unique button combination on your smartphone or tablet and you can capture and share a screenshot in a matter of seconds. A handful of new smartphones feature a scrolling screenshot option which allows you to capture an entire web page, your app drawer or even a long conversation within your favorite messaging app. There are a few Android apps on Google Play which give you the option of manually stitching multiple screenshots into a single image, but we’re going to show you how simple it is to emulate the scrolling screenshot feature using an app called Stitch & Share.

1)    Download and install Stitch & Share from Google Play

2)    Using your device’s unique button combination, capture the first screenshot

3)    Scroll down within the app, keeping a small portion of what was in the first screenshot visible and capture the next screenshot

4)    Repeat the previous step until you have captured everything you want to appear within the screenshot

5)    Swipe down on your notification panel and tap the Stitch & Share notification

6)    Tap the green arrow icon in the bottom right corner to save or share your screenshot

If the generated screenshot doesn’t align properly, Stitch & Share allows you to adjust where the images overlap by tapping the scissors icon. The app also includes editing features which allow you to highlight text or insert a blackout bar (great for hiding someone’s name, email or phone number). The free version only offers one color for highlighting, but you can get rid of the ads, get more highlighter colors and eliminate the Stitch & Share watermark with a $0.99 in-app purchase.
