Android 11 will not have screenshots elongated and Google explains the reason

With the launch of the second test version of Android 11, some of those responsible for the creation of this software have gone to the popular forum Reddit to answer an AMA (Ask Me Anything / Ask me Something).

How to do a screen shot in any app

If you want to make a screenshot on a application in Android that does not allow it, there are several methods that make it possible.

There have been many issues, especially for developers who were interested in knowing some of the details of how it will work with the stable version of Android 11, and how they can adapt their creations.

Among the many questions that have been made there was one that made reference to the screen shots continuous.

Android 11 will not have screen shots, continuous

There are many manufacturers that have already implemented it in their graphical interfaces, the possibility to do a screen capture, something that takes years with us, but you can make an elongated shape, perfect for saving a web page or a chat that shows us all of the information in the diagonal of the screen. That is why it is strange that Google has not implemented this feature natively, but the developers of the operating system has its reasons.

The reason is that, contrary to what some manufacturers, Google does not want to create screenshots separate and join them together later using software. That does not work in all applications and they want to ensure that when the implementation is done in the source code of Android no problems in any mobile of any manufacturer.

However, they have been working on this as evidenced by the fact that parts of the code of the beta of two Android 11 makes reference to this function. However, like other characteristics, have been scrapped at the last minute by not being able to meet the quality standards desired by the development team.

So, at least until Android 12 we will not have this implementation natively on all mobile phones with this operating system. If your terminal does not allow it you can always install a third-party application that enable the role.
