If you are a WhatsApp user then surely on many occasions you have taken a screenshot of part of a conversation to send it to one of your contacts. But things get complicated when the conversation takes up more than what is shown on our mobile screen, having to take several screenshots sequentially. This makes the person to whom we send it to have to read the conversation in parts, which can be quite uncomfortable and difficult to follow the conversation. To avoid this, we are going to show how to capture entire WhatsApp conversations in a single screenshot.
In this way, we can share complete conversations within the messaging app in a single image quickly and easily. The truth is that it is not a function that we can find within the native options of the app owned by Facebook, therefore, we will have to use a third-party application that allows us to make this type of captures. Of course, as long as the manufacturer of our smartphone does not offer us this function as part of the customization layer of the system.
Capture full WhatsApp chats on Android
If we do not have this function as part of the system settings, then we will have to install an application on our phone that adds this function to be able to capture complete WhatsApp conversations.
LongScreenShot
LongScreenShot is an app available on Google Play for free and that has been designed to allow you to capture everything that appears on the screen of your phone. Therefore, once we have it installed, all we have to do to capture a complete WhatsApp conversation is open the app, accept the permissions that it requests and follow the steps shown below:
- Click on the “+” button that appears in the lower right.
- The first time it will show us a notice to confirm that we are going to start recording. If we want we can indicate that it is shown again. Click on Start now .
- A floating button will appear with the play symbol .
- We go to WhatsApp and enter the conversation that we want to capture.
- Once there, we do not go to the place where we want to start the capture and click on the Play button on LongScreenShot.
- We slide the screen to the point where we want to capture the conversation.
- Click on the Stop button of the app.
- The capture will have been taken and we will have it as a single image in the phone gallery.
LongShot
LongShot is another app available on Google Play for free that works in a similar way to the previous one. In this case, it should be noted that it can work more automatically than LongScreenShot. Once installed, these are the steps to follow:
- We enter the Capture ScreenShot option.
- We configure the mode that we want to use for screenshots. Automatic is recommended if we want to capture a full WhatsApp conversation.
- We click on the Screenshot Capture button .
- We accept the notice that shows us the notice that we will start recording and that we can make it no longer show. Click on Start now .
- This will make us appear two floating buttons on the mobile, Start and Cancel.
- We go to WhatsApp, we enter the conversation we want to capture and we place ourselves in the part of the conversation where we want to start the capture.
- We click on the Start button .
- If we have selected the Auto Scroll option, we will see how the app itself scrolls through our conversation and recording all the messages until we reach the end.
- When finished, click on the screen to stop the capture.
- We can see the preview of the WhatsApp conversation capture and adjust the cut of the image in different sections.
Capture WhatsApp conversations on iOS
Although the Apple environment is usually less permissive when it comes to using certain applications, the truth is that for those who have an iPhone and want to capture complete WhatsApp conversations in a single image, there are also certain apps available that allow us to do so.
PicSew is one of the best valued among iOS users and we can also get it for free, although there are certain purchases within the app. In addition to allowing us to capture complete WhatsApp conversations by scrolling vertically so that each and every one of the messages that we are interested in capturing appears, it also has the option of doing the same but horizontally. That is, it allows you to capture horizontally scrolling in a single image.
Tailor – Screenshot Stitching is another of the most popular, although the truth is that it has a worse score in the App Store. However, it fulfills the function of being able to take scrolling screen captures to be able to save complete WhatsApp conversations or articles of interest from any website in a single image to save them in a single capture and be able to read them later comfortably, for example.
