Android 14 could eliminate sharing screenshots and URLs separately

If you’re sharing a screenshot of a web page, it’s a two-step process that involves you taking the screenshot and then copying the URL. If you need to share web pages often, this could get pretty annoying. However, according to Mishaal Rahman (via Android Authority), Android 14 could eliminate saving the screenshot and URL separately.

 Android 14 might let you save a screenshot and URL at the same time

The stable version of Android 14 is almost out, and we’re still getting news about new features set to release. With this potential feature, when you take a screenshot, your phone will automatically append the URL when you’re in the sharing menu. According to his Patreon post, this feature uses the same API that Pixel phones and ASUS phones use. Phones from both brands have the ability to do this from the recents menu.

This will, undoubtedly, make sharing screenshots of web pages much easier. For the time being, we’re still in the dark about when this feature is coming out. We don’t know if Google will unveil this feature when Android 14 lands or if it will be added on in a subsequent update. Only time will tell.

Speaking of Android 14, the beta version 5.1 just landed

If you’re running the Android beta 5.0 version, then you shouldn’t expect any changes. This is a .1 update, and it only brings some bug fixes. Other than that, it’s the same software that came with the 5.0 beta release.

Beta 5 was the final scheduled update before Android 14 hits the stable version. So, if you’re on the beta, and you haven’t updated to 5.1, you might want to. The stable version is just around the corner.

If you don’t know how to update your phone, it’s really easy. Just go to your settings and scroll down to the System section. There, go to the Software update section.

If it tells you that your phone is up-to-date, tap on the Check for update button on the bottom right of the screen. Your phone will do a scan for the update. If it finds one, then tap on the Download and install button. Your phone will start updating.
