How To Take A Scrolling Screenshot On Android

Scrolling screenshots are a useful way of sharing websites with others. This is because some websites might not be accessible to others, whether it be because of government regulations, region locking, and so on. This means that if you can access that website, you can capture the page in its entirety and share it with others who can’t.

It is also useful for piecing together long pieces of conversation without having to manually try and stitch them all together, so if this sounds like something you could be interested in, then read on to find out the various ways you can capture scrolling screenshots on your Android smartphone.
