[How To ??] How to capture scrolling screenshots on Android

One of the most useful features of the Galaxy S8 can be had on any Android phone. I'm talking about 'Scroll capture', which allows you to take longer, scrolling screenshots of a whole page. There are a ton of apps which let you stitch together screenshots manually to make them into one file, but that's tedious. Here's how to get the scrolling screenshot feature on your Android without the hassle.

Introduced to Samsung users on the Note 5, and majorly improved upon for the Galaxy S7, was a nifty feature called 'Capture more'. This allowed you to take a single long screenshot of a page, from the top and scrolling all the way to bottom, in one file. This feature is back in the spotlight now, thanks to the Galaxy S8, under the new moniker 'Scroll capture'.

With the popularity of the Galaxy S8, and all the hype about its amazing features, more people are wondering how to capture longer screenshots on their Android phones. While it's not a feature baked into Android itself, that doesn't mean it can't be done. There's a third party app called Stitch & Share to save the day for those of you who don't have Galaxy phones.

This intuitive app allows you to take screenshots as you normally would, then it stitches them together for you automatically (unlike other apps which require you to do it manually). All you have to do is save the screenshot as one file, and it even lets you share it from the app right afterward.
You can capture a screenshot of an entire website, news article or app with Stitch & Share from the Play Store. Once you download it and grant it the required permissions, just take your first screenshot as usual. Scroll down until only a small part of what was visible in the first screenshot is still showing on your screen, then take the next screenshot. Just repeat this step until you've taken shots of everything you want. Then swipe down to open your phone's notifications panel and tap the Stitch & Share notification to open the app. Or, you can open the Stitch & Share app and select the screenshots you want to be automatically stitched. From there, simply tap the green arrow to save your long screenshot.

After a quick setup, you're ready to begin taking scrolling screenshots instantly. 
To see an example of what Stitch & Share can do, take a look at the very long, max resolution screenshot below. There are a couple of drawbacks to the app, namely that the results aren't always perfect, and a small watermark will appear on the bottom right unless you upgrade to a paid version. That being said, it's a very convenient and useful app.

[TechLeaks] Moto X4 image leaks showing off glass back, dual camera, thin side bezels

Update: The first image of the Moto X4 has leaked (see above). It was recently posted on Twitter by Evan Blass and shows the front as well as the back of the upcoming smartphone. The device looks a lot like the rest of the Moto lineup with its large circular camera housing on the rear and the fingerprint scanner positioned on the front, below the screen. The image shows the gold version of the Moto X4, although we do expect to see it in a few other color options once it’s officially released. One of the smartphones we’re really looking forward to from Motorola this year isn’t a refresh to the Moto Z , but rather the return of the Moto X lineup in the Moto X4. With specs and rumors flying around, Evan Blass has taken to Twitter to share the first good look at the upcoming device. The latest addition to the Moto X lineup, the Moto X4, is expected to be a return to the Motorola that once got us excited , at least to an extent. Whereas the Moto Z line focuses on premium sp...

[Phone Launch] Xiaomi launches its first Android One smartphone named Mi A1

Xiaomi unveiled the Mi A1 earlier today in New Delhi, and the phone marks a shift in strategy for the manufacturer. While all Xiaomi phones thus far have featured MIUI, the Mi A1 offers stock Android. The phone is the first in a new lineup of Android One devices, with Google looking to aggressively target the budget segment in emerging markets. The highlight of the Mi A1 is its dual camera setup at the back with a 12 MP wide-angle and a 12 MP telephoto lens. The 50 mm telephoto lens captures the main image and the wide-angle lens assists with the depth of field measurement, and the two lenses work together to create a bokeh. The telephoto lens enables up to 2x optical zoom and for even further shots, Mi A1 offers up to 10x digital zoom. Also, like the Pixel and Pixel XL by Google in the past, the Mi A1 offers unlimited high-quality photo storage on Google Photos. Xiaomi Mi A1 Specifications Operating System Android 7.1.2 Nougat Display 5.5-inch IPS LCD 192...

[Tech News] Google Chrome Canary and Dev Builds now have Built-In Ad Blocker

Google depends on advertising for its revenue. It is to serve this purpose that the company collects all relevant data across all of its users. Our browsing habits, our shopping-related searches, our weekly schedule — all of these are of interest to Google because they grant an insight into our lives, allowing Google to serve personalized ads that have a higher chance to resonate with viewers. So earlier this year, when reports emerged that Google was looking to incorporate an ad blocker in Google Chrome  – its main browser that serves millions of Android users – many people were initially surprised. After all, ads are Google’s forte, so blocking them natively seems like a strange idea. However, the reports clarified that even though the ad blocker would be turned on by default, it will only block out those specific types of ads that are deemed too intrusive and that negatively affect a user’s browsing experience. Some users on Google Chrome’s Canary and...
