The first Android 12 preview is out. Yay! But it doesn't have scrolling screenshots. Boo! Well, don't boo too loudly — it looks like scrolling screenshots are there, but the feature isn't enabled in the current build. Maybe next time?

According to XDA's Mishaal Rahman, scrolling screenshots are available in the Android 12 dev preview with a little tinkering, You won't see them, but the feature appears to be mostly done. It's a little "janky/broken," but the "scroll" button on the screenshot preview does take another screen and stitch it together with the first. The demo below causes the system UI to crash, but apparently, that doesn't happen when not recording the screen.

I would expect features like scrolling screenshots and the new UI themes to be enabled in future previews, or possibly in the beta phase. So, you can cross scrolling screenshots off your wishlist, assuming Google doesn't yank the feature prior to release.
