Google has improved the screen experience on Android in recent years, and now the company is giving another tweak. With the latest feature drop, Google quietly prepared to take a screenshot of Pixel phones instantly.
After installing the December security patch and feature drop on Pixel smartphones, you will see for the first time when you take a screenshot that the process is almost instantaneous. Notably, Google has always followed the original Android screenshot method on pixels, using long-presses of both the power and volume down buttons. The same button combo is still in use, but now it’s quite literal.
A quick tap of two buttons now takes a screenshot of what it looks like in milliseconds. While it will definitely result in some accidental shots, it is a very simple process that can result in less missed moments when trying to capture a particular moment.
It would be nice to see a notification with the Android Handy Delete button when notifications are taken, but Google has decided to remove that notification with Android 11’s new pop-up UI.
Notably, this is the same “speed” that Samsung and Apple Play have also adopted on recent Galaxy phones and iPhones. You can see this mimicking Google’s competition, but honestly, it’s just a tweak to life.
