How to Take a Long / Scrolling Screenshot on Xiaomi HyperOS

A scrolling screenshot (also called a long screenshot) captures content beyond what's visible on screen in a single image — ideal for web articles, chat conversations, and documents.

Method 1 – After Taking a Regular Screenshot (Easiest)

1. Take a screenshot using any method (e.g., three-finger swipe or Power + Volume Down).
2. When the thumbnail preview appears in the bottom corner, tap it.
3. The editing toolbar appears — tap the Scroll icon (two vertical arrows) or Capture more.
4. The screen begins auto-scrolling downward — tap Stop when you've captured everything you need.
5. The final stitched image is saved to Gallery.

Method 2 – Hold the Screenshot Thumbnail

1. Take a screenshot normally.
2. Instead of tapping the thumbnail, hold it — a "Scroll" action may appear directly.

Method 3 – Three-Finger Hold Gesture

On some HyperOS builds:
1. Swipe down with three fingers and hold (don't lift) — this activates scrolling capture mode directly without the intermediate thumbnail step.

Controlling the Scroll Speed

• After tapping Scroll, the page scrolls automatically.
• Tap Pause to stop at any point and review the captured area.
• Tap Continue to resume or Save to finish.

Supported Apps

Scrolling screenshots work best in:

Edit a Long Screenshot

1. Open the long screenshot in Gallery.
2. Tap Edit → crop to remove unwanted top/bottom sections.
3. Share directly as a single image file.

Pro Tips

• Long screenshots can get very large (3,000–10,000 px tall) — keep an eye on storage.
• Use Mi Browser's built-in "Save full page" feature for cleaner full-page web captures without relying on screenshot scroll.
• WhatsApp does not support native scroll capture — the screenshot method is the only option for long chat exports.
