When it works, you will hear a recording sound and see a screenshot preview at the bottom left of the screen where you can tap to edit or share.
Some Android phone manufacturers offer a scrolling screenshot feature that can capture an entire web page or message thread. They all have different names, but each involves taking a screenshot and then tapping a button when the preview pops up. For example, on a Samsung phone, you need to press the two arrow button in a box to use Capture scrolling. Huawei has a similar option called scroll shotLG offers a Extended option, and OnePlus has Extended screenshot.
If your phone doesn’t have this feature, consider a third-party app like screen master.
