Google says Scrolling Screenshots are ‘infeasible’

Scrolling screenshots are one of the most requested features in stock Android, allowing users to capture a lengthy article, message thread or anything else that doesn’t fit in a standard screenshot. Unfortunately, Google has confirmed that it won’t be bringing the feature any time soon.

In a Google Issue Tracker thread spotted by Android Police, a user asked the Mountain View firm to implement the feature. Unfortunately, Google’s eventual response was to change the feature request’s status to “won’t fix (infeasible).”

“Once again, thank you for submitting the feature request. After following up with our product and engineering teams, the feature request will not be able to be considered at this time,” the company added.

It’s a pretty disappointing result, as the likes of Huawei, LG, OnePlus, Samsung, and Xiaomi have natively offered this feature for several years now. In fact, the Galaxy Note 5 was one of the first phones to offer scrolling screenshots back in 2015.

Very strange. Loved that feature on my old Samsungs.

It's weird how Samsung and Huawei have this feature in their phones but Google says they cannot put it into Android very odd.

Even Screen Recording, Huawei phones allow Screen Recording but it seems Google are struggling to put in properly on Android Q.
