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.
