How to Take Scrolling (Long) Screenshots on Android

Taking a screenshot on your smartphone is straightforward, and we all use it to capture content displayed by apps and store them for future reference. However, if the content extends beyond a single screen we often resort to scrolling down and taking multiple screenshots. But did you know you can take a long, scrolling screenshot on your Android device?

Scrolling screenshots can take extended snapshots that include all the information displayed by scrolling up and down the display. Not only does this save your effort of capturing multiple screenshots, but it also brings all the information that is displayed under one, long, scrollable image.
