Pixel Screenshots update adds simplified design and useful shortcuts
The latest update to Pixel Screenshots introduces several user-friendly features and visual tweaks designed to improve accessibility and organization, while also streamlining the app’s interface. This update (version 0.24.373.08) simplifies the main screen and removes the separate “All screenshots” view, integrating these options into the main homepage for easier access.
Enhanced Grid Density Control
In previous versions, users accessed a fullscreen “All screenshots” page with a density adjustment feature. Now, the app includes these density controls directly on the homepage, letting users choose between viewing four or three smaller previews, or two larger rectangular thumbnails. These different sizes make it easier to find what you’re looking for, especially if you take many screenshots.
Simplified Screenshot Management
The updated homepage layout enables users to long-press on images, allowing for a quick selection of multiple items. This change makes it easier to share, add screenshots to collections, or delete them in one go without navigating through extra menus.
Improved Collections and App Shortcuts
Pixel Screenshots’ Collections feature now has a Floating Action Button (FAB) for easier navigation, replacing the older “Select screenshots” button. From this button, users can add new screenshots and organize their collections. Additionally, an overflow menu simplifies actions like “Edit title” or “Delete,” improving overall usability.
The update also adds two new app shortcuts for “Take a photo” and “Add image,” which you can now access directly from your home screen. This removes the need to open the app each time to take a quick screenshot or add an image, saving users time and reducing clicks.
Convenient Screenshot Viewing and Note-Taking
Another notable improvement is the streamlined screenshot view. When viewing a screenshot, Pixel Screenshots now truncates long descriptions or transcriptions, preventing excessive scrolling and making it easier to access options like “Add a note” or “Add to collection” at the bottom of the screen.
Voice Commands and October Feature Drop
Coinciding with Google’s October Feature Drop, Pixel users now have the option to use voice commands for quicker access. For instance, by saying “in Screenshots,” you can search for a saved screenshot from anywhere on your phone, a helpful addition for fast access and search.
The update to Pixel Screenshots (version 0.24.373.08) is now rolling out via the Google Play Store, bringing new convenience and functionality to Pixel users.
