How to capture a full page in Motorola Edge 20 Pro?

If what you want is to capture a complete web page, a chat or an application with "scroll" on your Motorola Edge 20 Pro, even if this function is not yet incorporated into Android, you can do it if the operating system is updated to the latest version since Motorola has incorporated it into its layer of personalization.

To take a screenshot with scrolling on a web page, a WhatsApp conversation or any other application of your Motorola Edge 20 Pro take the screenshot with the method indicated above, when taking the screenshot the capture will appear and the screenshot menu for a few seconds at the bottom left.

Before it disappears, click on "Scroll" icon and wait while the scroll is made on the screen, capturing all the content.

When you want to cut the screenshot, press the "Stop" button that appears at the bottom of the screen, since if the web page or application has a very long or infinite scroll it can generate an image that is too large and block the system.

Once the capture is made, it will be saved in the Edge 20 Pro image gallery and you can edit and share it on social networks.
