  • [Feature Request] Enable full page screenshot by default?

The recent apps activity has a screenshot button. However it could only take a normal screenshot, unlike when holding power and volume down which gives you an extra option for a Full Page Screenshot, sometimes called Long Screenshot or Scrolling Screenshot.

Can the screenshot button in the recent apps activity be programmed to allow Full Page Screenshots by default?

Definitely would support that. On my previous Huawei, I could double knock on the phone with my knuckles to take a screen shot. Then swiping down and it would scroll down until the end (or stop with another knuckly knock). Was extremely convenient and often used.

Where do you get the option for a scrolling screenshot while using power an volume button?
I don't get it in pixel 7 Pro...
Really miss the scrolling screenshot feature!

    kruton you can still do scrolling screenshot in apps that support it (for example, in Vanadium).

    Take the screenshot by pressing power button and volume down button at the same time. Then in the screenshot UI that appears for a couple of seconds, tap capture more. That allows you to extend the screenshot.

        What a ridiculous method when it could just be added as another button next to the normal option.
        Have you tried doing this with only one hand? Shouldn't have to wedge my phone against the wall just to get a basic option

          I understand that some other OSes may have more convenient methods of taking scrolling screenshots.

          The functionality in GrapheneOS is provided upstream from AOSP, and I doubt the small development team in GrapheneOS would wish to change it.

          You could always contact them on GitHub to ask, but they tend to focus on privacy and security features, and where they do work on accessibility features, that is mostly for things which are broken in AOSP. However, the scrolling screenshot feature from AOSP works fine.

          I personally am able to screenshot with one hand: Thumb on left of the phone, index finger on power button, and middle finger on volume down button, although most of the time I am two-handed.

          For standard screenshots I use the recent screen which doesn't require any pressing of the power/volume buttons, and is thus easier one-handed.
