Sometimes, you might feel the need to capture and save a lovely conversation you had with your friend on a messaging app. Moreover, you may even want to share it with your other friends. Again, there might be an occasion when you are not able to finish reading an interesting article and want to get a screenshot to read it later.
However, if the length of the conversation or the web page is long, a typical screenshot wouldn’t suffice. You can go about taking multiple screenshots, but it could be frustrating if you would have to do it many times and then stick them together. Also, it would be tedious to carefully put them in the right order without missing out anything before saving or sending them.
It’s when you would need a scrolling screenshots, which can capture the entire length of your conversation on the messaging or any web page for that matter. If you have a new Android device with the latest version of the operating system, you might as well check if it has the scrolling screenshot option as a handful of new smartphones do provide an inbuilt mechanism for this purpose.
However, if your Android device does not have the inbuilt option, you can always download an app for the purpose. Some of these apps also let you stitch multiple screenshots into a single image manually. While there are numerous apps to choose from the Play Store, Stitch & Share is one of them, which can be handy when it comes to emulating the scrolling screenshot feature. Using it, you can get the screenshot of the entire length of the long page, even if it needs to be scrolled multiple times to reach its bottom; and that too in a matter of seconds.
