Google is working on a new feature for desktop Chrome that allows you to capture and edit screenshots of webpages.
Google Chrome has been on a roll with new features lately, such as the new Android app widgets, easier password access on mobile, and an in-progress search side panel.

How to take scrolling screenshots on an iPhone
If you want to capture long articles and webpages on iOS, here's how to take a scrolling screenshot.
If you want to save a screen's contents on your device, taking a screenshot is one of the best and easiest options. However, if the content is spread across multiple lines or sections vertically, like this article, for example, you'll have to take multiple screenshots to capture all the information. This is where scrolling screenshots come in handy. A scrolling screenshot, as the name suggests, lets you scroll down on any page and capture screenshots of every section. It then stitches all of those screenshots into one single image.
Google is working on scrolling screenshot support for Chrome on Android
Scrolling screenshot support may soon be coming to Google Chrome for Android, if the new feature flags are to be believed. Read on!
Android has had native screenshot functionality since its very early days. For the most part, this functionality has not seen any major changes, with the idea still remaining fairly simple. Press the volume down and power button at the same time, and take a screenshot on any app on any page (except on apps that explicitly restrict screenshots, such as banking apps and some media apps). Google was testing native scrolling screenshots with Android 11, but the feature did not reach the stable builds. Now, it appears that Google is working on scrolling screenshot support for Chrome on Android.
Android 11 tests letting you take screenshots of floating bubble messages
In Android 11, Bubbles are activated by default and users should be able to take a screenshot of just the floating window instead of the entire screen.
Google introduced Bubbles last year with the second Android Q beta. The feature would allow users to view notifications and conversations from messaging apps in the form of floating overlays, pretty much like the Facebook Messenger's chat heads. It wasn't formally announced with the stable release of Android 10 but hidden in the developer options. Around the end of 2019, Google even started testing it for conversations in the Messages app. With Android 11 Developer Preview, Google is not only introducing new features but also reintroducing many others that were initially teased and then later dropped from or hidden in the final release of Android 10. The Bubbles feature is getting additional functions, including the ability to take screenshots of just the bubble area instead of the entire screen.
How to enable higher quality screenshots on the OnePlus 6/5T/5 [Root]
The OnePlus 6, OnePlus 5T, and OnePlus 5 are stellar devices, but they're not perfect. Learn how to enable higher quality screenshots here.
The OnePlus 6 is certainly a stellar device, but it's not perfect. One minor issue with its software, known as OxygenOS, is that screenshots are saved in the compressed JPEG format, rather than the Android-default PNG. It's nice for saving space, but especially in scrolling screenshots, there can be a big drop off in quality. Thanks to a Magisk Module developed by XDA Member angelsel, you can enable higher quality screenshots on your OnePlus 6, OnePlus 5T, or OnePlus 5. Because it's a Magisk module, you'll need to unlock the bootloader of your device, install TWRP, and install Magisk.
For those of you who frequently take and share screenshots on our forums or on social media, you may find that the default action taken after taking a screenshot is limited. This is true for users on stock, or close to stock, software such as on the Google Pixel and Pixel XL. In a previous APK teardown, we found that the Google App was preparing to add screenshot crop/edit support, but we haven't seen this feature materialize just yet.
A picture is worth a thousand words. That's a well known saying. And in Android, pictures are used to show your home screen, developments in progress, or simply demonstrate an error. The ability to take screenshots was implemented into stock Android a long time ago, but grabbing a screenshot while in recovery is still quite problematic. You can try to use the monitor tool from Android SDK, but it doesn't always work right.
