The process to take a screenshot on your iPhone or Android device is pretty simple. It is typically a combination of buttons you press to record an instance of what is showing on the screen and capture it in the form of an image. However, if you want to take a longer screenshot for content that requires scrolling on the screen, you can do so easily with only a few taps. The scrolling screenshots have existed for a while on both the iPhone and Android, but the process is quite different for each device. Check out how to take a scrolling screenshot on the Pixel 8 and older Pixel models running Android 14.

You might have come across a situation where you took multiple screenshots of a webpage, a conversation, or even a document. However, it would have been much simpler if you had only taken one screenshot with all the information in it. This is where the scrolling screenshot comes into play, as you can not only capture what is on the display but also scroll down to the bottom of the page for an elongated screenshot. With scrolling screenshots, you can capture long documents and web pages in a single image that you can share with your friends or family.
The process is fairly simple and does not require any third-party app, as it is built into Android 14 for easier access.
