Xiaomi phones serve up numerous ways to take a screenshot. Here’s how to leverage them all.
Xiaomi makes some of the best and most feature-packed phones out there. However, their MIUI user experience doesn’t always make it immediately clear how to use some of those features, including how to take a screenshot.
In testing, we’ve uncovered six different methods for capturing a screenshot on a Xiaomi phone, and that doesn’t even include screen recording. Some use on-screen controls, some use physical button presses, and some use gestures. One even relies on voice control. Xiaomi’s screenshot implementation also lets you capture scrolling screenshots and partial screenshots.
The methods detailed here were achieved with a Xiaomi 13 Pro running MIUI 14 atop Android 13. However, there’s little to suggest that some, if not all, of these would work on other best Xiaomi phones – like the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 12T Pro, and older devices, too.
With that said, read on for full step-by-step breakdowns of each method of screenshot capture, complete with diagrams of our own to make the process even easier to understand.What happens when you take a screenshot on a Xiaomi phone
