| Android 11 Beta 2 was release earlier this week. |
A Google executive revealed on Thursday revealed that Android 11 would not be having the scrolling screenshot feature. Although the feature is available on some devices running Android-based custom ROM such as Xiaomi's MIUI, the scrolling screenshot will not yet be available on stock Android devices such as Google Pixel models.
Android system UI team manager, Dan Sandler indicated during the Android 11 Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, that the feature could not be fully completed due to limited resources owing to the coronavirus pandemic
First spotted in the Android 11 Developer Preview 1, though not functional the feature was anticipated to eventually work on stock Android devices with the final release of Android 11.
Sandler said the team was aiming to make the feature work for the entire Android ecosystem and not just for "one or two hand picked apps"
"In the end, as with every Android release (and especially in this unusual year), we had to make hard choices about where to focus our limited resources; while this is a cool feature that we're still really excited about, we decided not to rush it," Sandler added during the Reddit AMA session.
The Android 11 Beta 1 had brought a host new features for the end-users such as chat bubbles, improved media controls, and improved control over sensitive permissions. The Beta 2 was released earlier this week and gave more tools to the developers to make sure their apps work smoothly with the final version on Android 11 that is expected to come out on September 8.
