Taking Screenshots on Pixel Phones Won’t Take All Day Now, Thanks to Update

The latest December patch is rolling out to Pixel phones, and while we dig deep to discover all of the new-new, one thing is instantly standing out to us: the lack of time it takes to produce a screenshot.

Before this update, Pixel users would have to hold the volume down + power button for a second or two before the phone would snap a screenshot. Following this patch, the process of snapping a screenshot on the Pixel 5 is instant, similar to the Samsung experience.

This is the way, Google. Much, much better! We’ll keep reporting back when we find new goodies to highlight.

If you own a Pixel, be sure to grab the update.
