Screenshot in Xiaomi Mix Fold 2

How to take a screenshot or screen capture on a Mix Fold 2

One essential feature of modern smartphones is the ability to take screenshots, capturing an image of what is currently displayed on your Xiaomi Mix Fold 2's screen.

Although there are apps for this function, you don’t need to install any additional ones, as it’s already built into the Android 12, MIUI Fold 13 operating system.

Taking a screenshot allows you to save a WhatsApp conversation, a Tinder message, an Instagram story, a Facebook photo, or a video frame directly to your Xiaomi device's memory.

How to capture a full page in Xiaomi Mix Fold 2?

If you want to capture an entire web page on your Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, you can do so if the operating system is updated to the latest version. Although this feature is not yet built into Android, Xiaomi has included it in its customization layer.

To take a scrolling screenshot of a web page, WhatsApp conversation, or any other app on your Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, use the method described above. Once the screenshot is taken, it will appear along with the screenshot menu for a few seconds in the top-right corner.

Before the menu disappears, tap "Scroll" and wait while the screen scrolls to capture all the content.

If you want to stop the screenshot, press the button at the bottom of the screen. This is especially useful for very long or infinite scrolls, which could create an excessively large image and potentially slow down the system.
