The Android 12 system natively supports the long screenshot function. This function is different from the screenshots developed by many OEM manufacturers. It is not realized by splicing multiple pictures but based on View, which is to identify the structure of the view. , the performance and effect are better.
However, a big disadvantage of this feature is that long screenshots cannot be taken when the View cannot be recognized. In the latest update of Android 12L, the long screenshot function makes up for this shortcoming and supports long screenshots in the WebView embedded web page view.
As you can see from the image above when taking a screenshot in WebView, Android 12 on the left does not have a long screenshot option, but Android 12L has it. WebView is usually used when opening a web page within an app.
Android 12L has begun to roll out to Google’s Pixel 3a series, Pixel 4 series, and Pixel 5 series. The Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will get the update later this month. Android 12L brings several UI improvements and features to large-screen devices such as foldable and tablets, including a two-column layout for the notification shade and lock screen, activity embedding, an improved multitasking experience, and more.
