Long screenshot on Honor: how to take it on Android (all methods 2026)

Screenshots of entire pages are a common request from users Honor, especially when you need to save correspondence, an article or a data table. A standard screenshot cuts off the content, but modern smartphones based on EMUI i MagicOS support the function scrolling (long) screenshots. However, not everyone knows how to activate it - the interface changes depending on the firmware version and phone model.

In this article we will look at all the current ways to create long screenshots on Honor, including hidden functions and workarounds for older devices. You will learn how to take a screenshot of the entire page in the browser, instant messengers and even in games, as well as what to do if the function does not work. Important: on some Honor 8X/9X models with EMUI 9.1, long screenshots are only available through third-party applications - this is a limitation of the Kirin 710/970 hardware platform.

1. The standard method is through the notification panel (EMUI 10+ and MagicOS)

The fastest method is to use the built-in scrolling function after creating a regular screen. Works on all Honor s EMUI 10.0 and later, as well as on devices with MagicOS 7.0+ (for example, Honor 90, Honor Magic5).

Instructions:

• 📱 Take a regular screenshot: simultaneously press Volume down + Power (or swipe down the screen with your knuckles if gesture navigation is enabled).
• 🔄 Immediately after the snapshot, a thumbnail will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap on it to open the editing panel.
• 📜 Select the icon in the bottom menu "Scrolling" (or "Long screenshot" - the name depends on the firmware version).
• ✅ Wait until the page scrolls automatically. To stop, tap on the screen.

⚠️ Attention: On some sites (for example, with an endless feed in Instagram or TikTok), automatic scrolling may “loop”. In this case, interrupt the process manually and save the current fragment.

The finished screenshot will be saved in the gallery in format .png with the resolution of the original page. The length is limited only by the amount of RAM: on Honor Magic V2 you can capture a page up to 50 screens, and on budget models (for example, Honor X7a) - up to 10-15.

2. Long screenshot via "Smart Assistant" (only for MagicOS)

Devices on MagicOS (for example, Honor Magic4 Pro or Honor Magic6) have a unique tool Smart Assistantthat allows you to create scrolling screenshots without first taking a screenshot. This method is convenient for capturing dynamic content, for example, chats in Telegram or feeds in Twitter/X.

How to use:

1. Open the desired page. or application.

3. In the menu that appears, select "Long screenshot" (icon with two down arrows).
4. Automatic scrolling will begin. To stop, tap the screen.

If the gesture does not work, check the settings: go to Settings → Accessibility → Smart Assistant and enable the option "Short call".

3. Hidden function for EMUI 9.1 and older versions

On devices Honor s EMUI 9.1 and lower (for example, Honor 8X, Honor 10 Lite) the built-in function of long screenshots is often missing. However, there is a workaround through mode. Developer:

4. Reboot your phone.

⚠️ Attention: On some firmware this option may be missing or unstable. After activation, check the function on the test page - for example, in Google Chrome.

For Honor with limited memory we recommend Stitch & Share —it does not require right Accessibility Service and works offline.
