How To: Take Partial Screenshots on Android
Being able to take screenshots on Android isn't something we were always able to do. It was added to stock Android in Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 (Gingerbread 2.3, if you were a Samsung TouchWiz user) as a simple full screen screenshot, and that's the way it's remained ever since—until now.Google is rumored to be in the process of adding partial screenshots to stock Android in the future, and Samsung and LG have done a spectacular job of adding it to TouchWiz and LG UX in recent years. The feature is quite useful, too, as it lets you easily crop screenshots to share only a small portion of your screen.However, Google isn't going to come in third place in the partial screenshot race. Third place goes to Senior Member Flextrick on XDA-Developers, who has created an app that allows users of Android KitKat 4.1 and above to take partial screenshots on their devices without the need for any extra steps, besides simply taking a screenshot!Don't Miss: How to Get Samsung's 'Long Screenshots' Feature on Any Android
