How to take a screenshot on Xiaomi Mi 10: all ways + secret chips

Xiaomi Mi 10 is a flagship smartphone with powerful stuffing and advanced MIUI firmware, but even experienced users sometimes get lost when you need to quickly take a screenshot. Especially if you are talking about non-standard scenarios: long pages, games or hidden menus. In this article, we will discuss all possible ways to take screenshots on the Mi 10 (including versions of the Mi 10 Pro and Mi 10 Ultra), and also reveal little-known chips that will simplify the work.

This material is relevant for all versions of MIUI 12/13/14 firmware based on Android 10–14. If your smartphone is updated to the latest version, some menu items may differ slightly - we will specify alternative paths.

1. Classic method: power and volume buttons

The most reliable and versatile method that works on all Xiaomi smartphones, including the Mi 10, is suitable for any situation: from capturing the screen in games to saving correspondence in messengers.

To take a screenshot:

1. Open on the screen what you want to capture (for example, a page in the browser or a dialogue in WhatsApp).
2. Press two buttons at the same time: 🔘 Power button (right) 🔊 Volume reduction button (left)

1-2 seconds

The screenshot will automatically be saved to the gallery in the Screenshots folder (or Screenshots in Russian localization). If the sound is turned off, focus on the visual signal - short-term darkening of the screen.

💡

If the screenshot didn't work the first time, try pressing the buttons at a minimum interval (power first, then volume after 0.3 seconds), which helps to avoid accidentally calling the off menu.

2. Three-finger gesture: quick screenshot without buttons

The MIUI feature is the ability to take screenshots with one movement across the screen, which is convenient when one hand is busy or the power/volume buttons are difficult to access (for example, in a case).

How to turn on and use:

1. Go to Settings → Additional settings → Buttons and gestures → Screenshot gestures.
2. Activate the swipe switch with three fingers down.
3. Return to the home screen and swipe your fingers from top to bottom across the display (as if you were swiping the screen down).

After successful capture, a quick action panel will appear with options:

• ✏️ Edit – crop, add text or a picture.
• 📤 Share – send a screenshot to the messenger or cloud.
• 🗑️ Delete if the photo fails.
• 📑 Long screenshot – capture the scrollable page (not working in all apps).

3.Voice assistant: screenshot on command

If you have Google's voice assistant on or Xiaomi's Xiao AI on, you can take a screenshot without touching the screen, which is convenient when your hands are dirty or you're doing other things.

Instructions for Google Assistant:

1. Activate the assistant with your voice (OK, Google) or hold the Home button.
2. Tell the command to “take a screenshot” or “Photography the screen.”
3. Confirm the action (if required).

For Xiao AI (only running Chinese firmware or with XiaoAI installed):

• 🎤 Say: "(Xiaoai, screenshot»).
• 🤖 Or press the Xiao icon. AI In the notification panel and select the screenshot option.

4. Long (scrollable) screenshot

A standard screenshot captures only the visible part of the screen, but what if you want to save an entire web page, a correspondence in Telegram or a list in Excel? MIUI has a built-in feature of a long screenshot (Scrolling Screenshot).

How to do this:

1. Take a regular screenshot of any of the above methods.
2. Immediately after the capture, a screen miniature will appear at the bottom of the screen - tap it.
3. In the editor that opens, click Scrolling (or Long Screenshot).
4. Wait until the system automatically scrolls down the page and combines the frames.
5. Press Ready to save the result.

Limitations of the method:

• ❌ Does not work in games and some apps (e.g. TikTok, Instagram Stories).
• ❌ Maximum length – up to 10 screens (depending on the application).
• ❌ Chrome can only capture text, no images (due to page optimization).

Close all pop-up windows and banners

Scroll the page to the beginning

Turn off Dark Mode (if you need a light screen)

Make sure the content is loaded in full (no “downloadable” blocks)-->

5. Screenshot through the Quick Settings panel

A little-known method that comes in handy if your smartphone buttons are faulty or you prefer to control everything through the notification curtain.

Algorithm of action:

1. Swipe down from the top edge of the screen to open the notification bar.
2. Swipe down again to turn the full panel around.
3. Find the screenshot icon (usually hidden – tap on the screenshot) ⚙️ Edit and add it to the visible area).
4. Click on the icon – the smartphone will immediately take a screenshot.

Advantages of the method:

• ✅ It works even with faulty buttons.
• ✅ You can assign hot keys (for example, double-clicking on the icon).
• ✅ Faster than a three-finger gesture if the panel is already open.

💡

The icon “Screenshot” in the curtain by default is absent – it must be added manually through editing the panel.

6 Screenshot in games and secure applications

Some apps (banks, encrypted messengers, cheat-protected games) block screenshots, like PUBG Mobile or SberBank Online, the standard ways won't work. What do you do?

Options for circumventing restrictions:

For screen recording:

1. Open Settings → Additional settings → Screen recording.
2. Click Start recording (a floating button will appear).
3. After the recording is completed, open the video in the gallery and take a screenshot of the desired frame.

💡

If you often need screenshots in games, install Mobizen’s Screen Recorder – it can take pictures even in secure applications (but requires root rights for full functionality).
