Rolling or scrolling or long screenshots are finally making their official entry, thanks to Android 12. What are the benefits of taking a rolling or scrolling screenshot? Well, a lot. You now no longer need to take multiple screenshots of a particular item. Instead, the screenshot will capture the whole screen of the app or webpage till it reaches the end of its scrolling point. Well then now that there is a new feature, let’s take a look at how to capture the usual screenshots and the scrolling screenshot on Android 12.
How to Take screenshot on Android 12
Every time a screenshot is taken, the screen will either flash a bit and an audible capture sound effect will be heard. Some devices will also show a notification of a screenshot being captured. All of these images are then saved in a screenshots folder on your device and can be viewed by the Google Photos app for devices running stock Android and the Gallery app for OEM Android devices.
Method 1: Using Buttons
The first, simple, and easiest method of taking a screenshot is by pressing the Power button and the Volume Down button. When you take a screenshot in this manner, you will hear a capture sound and the screen flashing a bit. A screenshot taken in this method will capture anything and everything active on the screen.
Method 2: Using Shortcut
The next method of taking a screenshot is by using the screenshots shortcut available in quick settings, recent apps, or gestures. The steps can vary a little based on the device you have. If the option is available in Quick Settings, then first open the page you want to screenshot and then tap on the screenshot option in quick settings. Now if your device supports three-finger gesture support, then swipe down with three fingers on the screen and it will capture screenshot on your Android 12 phone.
Method 3: Scrolling Screenshot on Android 12
The third method for capturing screenshots is by taking a rolling or a scrolling screenshot. This is a new feature on Android 12 and will continue to be in future versions of Android. Here is how you can take a scrolling screenshot on an Android 12 phone.
Method 4: Screenshot on Restricted App or Page
This is the best method to capture a screenshot of an app that has screenshot restrictions. What this means is that you can use this method for apps that will not let you capture screenshots using any of the above methods. In this case, the Google Assistant is a helpful friend. And these are the four ways to take a screenshot on an Android 12 device. There could be different other ways such as using third party apps or gestures like drawing a letter on the screen that will then take a screenshot. You could even enable tap back to capture screenshots on Android 12 phones. Some phones even have the screenshot option when you press the power button of your device. All these features are present on various Android OEM devices. Plus, you do not need to have root access to capture screenshots anymore. Android 12 Guides:
