Take Scrolling Screen Shots on Android via Stitch & Share

Many of the latest Android flagships have a dedicated feature for taking long scrolling screenshots of whole websites or apps. However, many of us don’t own some of these devices, but still want to capture long screenshots. If you find yourself in this category too, then you should know that there are a number of third party apps that try to mimic the scrolling screenshots functionality from the likes of MIUI and Oxygen OS.

Even if I strongly believe that none of the apps bring you an experience as good as you get on natively supported platforms, it’s close enough, so why not giving it a try? Stitch & Share is such an example of an app that allows you to take screenshots as you normally would. Then, this app will automatically recognize the screenshots and stitches them into one long image. You just need to make sure that you take overlapping screenshots.

Just note that Stitch & Share comes in a free version, yet once you have it on your Android you can make an in-app purchase and get some advanced features, as well as an ad-free experience. And you must know about that small watermark that will appear on the bottom right unless you upgrade to a paid version, yet the choice is only yours.

For Capturing and Combining Individual Screenshots on your Own:
