Stitching

How should I take the screenshots?

Take a screenshot, scroll down by about half to three quarters of a screen, take the next one, and so on. Each screenshot needs some content in common with the next (about a quarter of the screen) so Longsnap can line them up. Don't rotate the phone in between.

Why does it say "Unable to Stitch"?

Longsnap couldn't find where the screenshots overlap. Usually you scrolled too far between them, or they are from different screens. Take them again with more overlap.

Why were only some of my screenshots stitched?

If one screenshot doesn't overlap the next, Longsnap stitches the longest run that does join up and tells you how many it used.

In what order are screenshots joined?

In the order you took them, whatever order you tap them in. Up to 20 at a time, all from the same screen size.

Can I keep the status bar (time, battery)?

Yes: Settings › Keep status bar. The current image is stitched again with the new setting.

My stitched image came out in parts

Very long results are split into several images so that every app can open them. Save or share them together.

Saving and deleting

Where does the stitched image go?

Save adds it to your photo library. Share sends it to any app.

What happens to the original screenshots?

Nothing, unless you choose to delete them after saving. Then iOS asks you to confirm, and they move to Recently Deleted in Photos, where you can recover them for 30 days.

Photo access

Longsnap says it can only use photos I've allowed

With Limited Access, Longsnap can only read the photos you allowed. Tap "Select more photos" in the app, or open Settings › Longsnap › Photos and choose Full Access.

Screenshots stored in iCloud

If you use "Optimize iPhone Storage", screenshots you pick are downloaded from your iCloud by Photos first, which can take a moment.

Is my data private?

Yes. Screenshots are stitched on your iPhone and never uploaded; the app only sends anonymous crash reports. See the Privacy Policy.
