Steps
Also include
  1. Android screenshot: Open the long page and take a screenshot

    Open the long page and take a screenshot

    Scroll to the top of a page that is longer than the screen, like App management in Settings. Then press Power and Volume Down together, or swipe down with three fingers.

  2. Android screenshot: Tap Scroll on the preview, and the editor opens

    Tap Scroll on the preview, and the editor opens

    The preview sits in the corner for a few seconds after the screenshot; it does not show up in screenshots on our OPPO, so this is the editor Scroll opens. It says: Swipe up or down to adjust the length of the screenshot. The handle on the right side moves the bottom edge.

  3. Android screenshot: Drag down, or tap Auto scroll

    Drag down, or tap Auto scroll

    Once you drag, Auto scroll appears at the bottom of the preview and keeps adding the page below. Stop where you want the picture to end.

  4. Android screenshot: Tap Done

    Tap Done

    The long screenshot is saved with your other screenshots. Ours ran from AI Studio to Facebook in one picture, with the editor's small arrow handles still showing on the right edge.

If you do not see this option

  • No Scroll button? The preview only appears if Screenshot preview floating window is on in Settings, Screenshot. The page says: After a screenshot is taken, show a preview with options such as scrolling screenshot.
    Android screenshot: Screenshot preview floating window
  • Prefer a gesture? Our Screenshot settings page on ColorOS 16 lists 3-finger touch and hold: Take a partial or scrolling screenshot. Hold three fingers on the screen instead of pressing the buttons.
  • No Scroll on some screens? Google says scrolling screenshots need Android 12 or later and work on most screens that allow you to scroll. On a screen that does not scroll, there is nothing to extend. Source: Take a screenshot or record your screen on your Android device

If this does not work

  • Says "Already at the bottom of the page"? On ours this showed when the screen had nothing more below it. Scroll to the top of a page that is longer than the screen, then take the screenshot again.
  • Long screenshot stops too early? Drag the handle further down before tapping Done. OPPO's guide says to slide to the position you want, then save. Source: ColorOS 11 User Guide
  • The preview vanished? It only stays a few seconds. Take the screenshot again and tap Scroll straight away.

About this guide

We used the App management list in Settings because it is long. The floating preview with the Scroll button does not show up in screenshots on our OPPO, so step 2 shows the editor that Scroll opens.

The screenshots are from our OPPO Reno13 5G, the European model CPH2689, with ColorOS 16.0.5 and Android 16 (build CPH2689_16.0.5.1001(EX01)), in Dark mode.

Good to know

In short: Screenshot, Scroll on the preview, drag or Auto scroll, Done.
