Owners of Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro often face the need to quickly save information displayed on the display. Whether it is correspondence in the messenger, a route map or a screenshot of a bank transaction, the ability to take quality screenshots is a basic skill. Modern MIUI shells installed on the Redmi 10 Pro offer many options for doing this task, far beyond the standard combination of buttons.
In this article, we will take a look at all the available screenshot techniques, from classic physical keys to advanced gestures and voice control. Understanding these nuances will save you time and effectively manage media content on your device. We will also touch on the topic of editing and quick access to saved images, which is especially important for users who actively use a smartphone for work purposes.
The Android operating system, combined with the proprietary shell, provides flexible tools for working with the clipboard and gallery. Regardless of which method you choose, the result will be equally qualitative, since the resolution of the shot corresponds to the resolution of the screen of your gadget. Let's go to a detailed review of each method.
Classical Method Through Physical Buttons
The most common and time-tested way to take a screenshot of the Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro is to use a combination of physical buttons. This method works even when the touch screen temporarily does not respond or the system interface freezes. To implement this action, you need to simultaneously press the on button (located on the right side) and the volume down button (located on the left side).
It is important to observe proper timing: pressing should be short-term, almost instantaneous. If you hold the keys too long, the smartphone may perceive this as a command to call the emergency call menu or turn on the editing mode of screenshots if such a function is activated. Once successfully executed, you will hear the characteristic sound of the camera shutter (if the sound is not turned off) and see an animation of the screen flash.
⚠️ Warning: Don't push too hard on the buttons, especially the side faces of the body.The mechanical keys on the Redmi 10 Pro have a clear stroke, and excessive force can cause damage to the body or sticking buttons.
This method is universal for the entire Android smartphone lineup, so it is intuitive even for those who first picked up a device from Xiaomi.The screenshot is instantly saved in the gallery, and at the top of the screen there is a notification with a thumbnail, allowing you to quickly move to editing or share an image.
Use the Quick Action Menu (Stork)
For those who prefer to avoid mechanical impact on buttons or use a smartphone with one hand, the software method through the control panel is ideal. To take a screenshot on the Redmi 10 Pro in this way, you need to unlock the device and swipe from top to bottom to open the "curtain" of notifications. In the open menu, you need to find an icon called "Screenshot" or "Screenshot".
If you don't see the icon right away, you should click on the panel edit button (usually three dots or a pencil in the corner of the menu) and drag the screenshot icon to the active area. After that, one tap is enough to capture the current state of the screen, which is especially convenient when the phone is lying on the table or connected to the charger in an upright position.
- 📱 Open the notification curtain down from the top edge of the screen.
- 🔍 Find the Screenshot icon among the quick settings shortcuts.
- 🖱️ Click on the icon to instantly create a picture.
- ✏️ Use the menu that appears to edit or send.
The advantage of this method is that there is no risk of accidentally pressing other buttons. In addition, a software screenshot is often accompanied by smoother animations in the MIUI interface. However, it is worth considering that in some secure applications (for example, banking), this method can be blocked by security policies, and instead of the image you will get a black screen.
Activation and use of gestures (Triple touch)
The MIUI shell installed on the Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro is famous for its advanced gesture control features. One of the most popular is the ability to create a screenshot by triple tapping on the screen. This feature is not activated by default, so it must be pre-enabled in the system settings, which takes literally a few seconds.
To activate, go to the settings menu, select "More" and find "Screenshots." Here you need to switch the slider to "On" opposite the "Triple Touch" option. After that, you can take screenshots just by quickly tapping three fingers on any part of the display. This is especially convenient when the phone is lying on a horizontal surface.
Settings → Additional → Screenshots → Triple touch (Incl)The sensor sensitivity on the Redmi 10 Pro is quite high, so the touches should be confident, but not necessarily strong. The system ignores random triple taps if they are performed too slowly, which prevents the creation of excess debris in the gallery. However, in cases with thick protective glasses, the sensitivity may decrease, and the gesture will have to be performed a little more vigorously.
💡
If triple tapping doesn’t work the first time, try using an oleophobic-coated protective glass or calibrate the sensor in the engineering menu (code ##6484###).
Long screenshot: Creating scrollable images
Often, you need to save not one frame, but an entire page of the site, a long correspondence in the messenger or a list of contacts. To do this, Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro provides a feature “Long Screenshot”. After creating a normal screenshot (by any of the methods described above), in the upper right corner of the preview will appear a special icon in the form of a scroll or arrows down.
Clicking on this icon, you start the automatic scrolling mode. The screen will slowly move down, capturing new content and stitching it together with the previous frame into a single long image. The process continues until you touch the screen or reach the end of the page. This is a critical feature for saving tickets, checks and articles.
| Parameter | Description | Limitations |
|---|---|---|
| Max. Length. | Depends on the permit. | Usually up to 5-10 screens |
| Format | JPEG / PNG | No loss of quality |
| Auto-stop. | At the end of the content | Or touching. |
| Editing | Available after | Cutting edges |
It should be noted that the long screenshot function does not work in all applications, for example, in some games or applications with a horizontal orientation of the interface, scroll may not be available, and the system will automatically stop recording if it detects a sharp change in content or video stream to avoid artifacts in the final image.

Voice control and Mi AI assistant
Xiaomi Redmi 10 Pro owners can use the voice assistant to take screenshots, which is especially true when hands are busy or the device is far away. The built-in Mi AI assistant (or Google Assistant, depending on the region and settings) is able to recognize voice commands and perform system actions.
To use this method, you need to activate voice control in the settings. Once activated, just say the phrase "take a screenshot" or "Shake the screen" (depending on the interface language). The smartphone recognizes the command, emits an audible signal and saves the image. This may seem like a gimmick, but in situations where the phone is attached to the car or holder, this is the only quick way.
⚠️ Warning: Voice control requires a stable Internet connection to handle the request on servers. In flight mode or when the signal is bad, the command may not execute.
And some models also allow you to customize your own voice commands through automation scenarios, so you can create a script where you use the word "Remember" to do a sequence of things: take a screenshot and send it to a specific chat Telegram or WhatsApp, which opens up a lot of possibilities for productivity.

Working with the clipboard and editing
When you create a screenshot on Redmi 10 Pro, you get rich image functionality. Unlike older versions of Android, you don't have to save a file to send it to someone. You can copy a screenshot to the clipboard and paste it into the messenger dialog without going through the gallery.
The built-in editor offers basic tools: cropping, drawing, adding text and stickers, which hides sensitive information (such as a card number or address) before sending. Processing is instantaneous thanks to the powerful smartphone processor. Files are stored in the DCIM/Screenshots folder in internal memory.
For users with large graphics, there is a packet deletion or screenshot movement feature available, so you can select Album mode, find a screenshot folder, click Select and tag unnecessary files, which helps keep the storage in order and save space.
💡
Use the built-in editor immediately after you create a screenshot to hide personal details before sending – it’s faster than looking for third-party blur apps.
