Long screenshot on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro: a complete guide with 5 working methods

Creating long (scrollable) screenshots on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro is a useful feature that allows you to capture the entire web page, correspondence in the messenger or a long list in the application. However, not all users know that the standard way through the Power Button + Volume Reduction only gives a static screenshot. In this article, we will analyze all the available methods, from built-in MIUI tools to advanced solutions using ADB and third-party utilities.

The Redmi Note 10 Pro (sweet/sweetin) is a feature that depends on the firmware version. In some MIUI 12-14 builds, it works out of the box, and in others, it requires activation through hidden settings. We tested all methods on current software versions (including HyperOS) and selected only working solutions. Importantly, some methods will require unlocking the bootloader or root rights - we will warn you about this in advance in the relevant sections.

1. Standard method via MIUI (without additional programs)

The easiest way is to use the built-in scrolling screenshot feature that has been in MIUI since version 10, which works in most system applications (Browser, Messages, Contacts) and some third-party ones (like Telegram or VK).

1. Take a regular screenshot: simultaneously press the Power button and Volume Reduction for 1-2 seconds.
2. In the preview that appears in the lower right corner of the screen, tap the Scrolling icon (it looks like two down arrows). ⤓).
3. Wait for the screen to automatically scrolle. To stop the capture, tap the screen at any time.
4. A finished long screen is saved in the gallery in the Screenshots folder marked Scroll_ titled.

⚠️ Limitations of method:

• 🚫 It doesn’t work in games and some apps (like Instagram or TikTok).
• 🚫 Maximum screen length – about 5 screens (depending on the application).
• 🚫 On some versions MIUI Scrolling icon may not be available – firmware update required.

2. Activation of the hidden function through the developer settings

If your firmware doesn't have a scroll button, it can be enabled through the developer's settings. This method works on the Redmi Note 10 Pro with MIUI 12.5–14 and HyperOS, but requires pre-activation of the developer mode:

1. Open Settings → About the phone and tap on the MIUI version 7 times until the notification “You became a developer” appears.
2. Return to the main settings menu and select Additional settings → For developers.
3. Find the Long Screenshot (or Extended Screenshot) option and turn it on.
4. Reboot your phone. Now, when you create a normal screen, you should have a scrolling icon.

On some firmware, the option is called "Advanced Screenshot" and hidden in the "Special Features" menu → "Screen Improvements"; if it is not available, then your version of MIUI does not support the function at the software level (the solution is to upgrade or use third-party methods from the following sections).

💡

Before you turn on the developer mode, check if your antivirus (such as Avast or Kaspersky) blocks changes to system settings. Turn it off for 5-10 minutes if the option does not appear.

3.Use of gestures for a fast long screen

MIUI allows you to assign a gesture across the screen to create scrolling screenshots. This is convenient if the physical buttons on your Redmi Note 10 Pro are worn or not working correctly.

1. Go to Settings → Special features → Gestures.
2. Select a Three-toed Screenshot (or Three-Finger Swipe).
3. Activate the option and set the swipe direction (usually down). ⤓).
4. Now swipe three fingers across the screen from top to bottom – a screen preview with a scroll button will appear.

🔹 Advantages of the method:

• ⚡ Faster than clamping buttons (especially with a case).
• 🎯 It works with one hand (if the phone is on the table).
• 🔄 You can assign different gestures for a regular and long screen.

⚠️ Warning: If the gesture conflicts with other features (such as screen capture in games), turn it off in the app settings or reassign it to another movement (such as swipe up).

4. Third-party applications for advanced users

If the built-in methods don’t work or you need advanced features (for example, WebView capture or scrolling in games), use specialized utilities. We tested 5 popular applications - the best results showed:

🔹 Instructions for LongShot (recommended):

1. Download the app from Google Play or APKCombo (if Play Market is not available).
2. Run LongShot and grant permission to Record the Screen (required!).
3. Open the target app (like Chrome) and tap on the floating LongShot icon.
4. Select Auto Scroll mode and adjust the scroll speed (recommended 3-5 seconds on the screen).
5. Press Start and wait until it's finished. The screen will be saved in the gallery.

Install. APK proven|Provide all the permissions requested|Disable battery optimization for the app|Check the work in safe mode (if the screen is not created)-->

⚠️ Note: Some applications (e.g. ScreenMaster) may conflict with the application protection function in the MIUI. If screenshots are not saved, add the utility to the exceptions: Settings → Annexes → Permits → Auto-start.

5. Advanced method: ADB-command

If none of the above methods worked, you can force the long screen function to be activated via Android Debug Bridge (ADB), a method that requires connecting the phone to a PC and basic command line knowledge, but produces 100% results on any firmware.

🔹 What's the matter:

• 🖥️ Computer with Windows/Linux/macOS and established ADB Tools.
• 📱 Redmi Note 10 Pro with Debugging enabled USB (Settings → For developers).
• 🔌 Cable USB (preferably original).

🔹 Step-by-step instruction:

1. Connect the phone to the PC and confirm the debugging permission.


2. Open the command line (or Terminal) and type:




adb shell settings put global long_screenshot_enabled 1




3.Reset the phone:




adb reboot




4. After the reboot, check for the appearance of the scroll icon when creating the screen.

🔹 If the team didn't work out:

• Try the alternative command: adb shell am broadcast -a "miui.intent.action.LONG_SCREENSHOT" --ez enable true
• Check if the PC firewall blocks the ADB connection (turn it off temporarily).
• Update MIUI to the latest version – in older builds (below 12.5), the command may not be supported.

6.Alternative solutions: manual gluing and cloud services

If none of the automatic methods work, you can create a long screen by hand by gluing together some of the usual images.

• 📱 Sticker apps: PhotoScan (from Google), PicStitch, FotoRus. They automatically align and connect screens into a single file.
• 🖥️ Desktop Programs: Photoshop (Tool Photomerge), GIMP (Panorama plugin, or free Icecream Image Merging.
• ☁️ Online services: Img2Go, PineTools (No installation required, but stable connection required).

🔹 Instructions for hand gluing:

1. Take a series of screenshots with overlapping 20-30% between frames (so that programs can sew them).
2. Transfer files to your PC or upload to an online service.
3. In Photoshop: File → Automation → Photomerge, select files and click OK.
4. In online services: download screens, select Vertical mode (vertical gluing) and download the result.

⚠️ Attention: Hand gluing may cause font distortion or artifacts at joints to minimize errors:

• Make screens with the same resolution (do not change the orientation of the screen).
• Use the PNG format instead of JPEG to maintain quality.
• In Photoshop, before saving, apply the Flush → Gauss Blurr (radius 0.3 px) filter to the seams.

💡

Manual gluing is the only way to create a long screen in applications where scrolling is blocked (for example, in banking programs or some games).
