Pixel Screenshots update adds grid density to homepage, app shortcuts

An update to Pixel Screenshots is rolling out with a number of UI tweaks, like doing away with the “All screenshots” view.

The Pixel Screenshots homepage consists of two carousels for Reminders and Collections. That’s followed by a grid of all your captures, with the ability to get a fullscreen “All screenshots” view that lets you adjust grid density. 

Version 0.24.373.08 today removes that dedicated All screenshots page and brings the grid density options directly to the main screen. Your width options are four or three square previews, as well as two rectangular ones that provide a really glanceable look. As such, the All screenshots view has been made redundant and removed for a simpler structure.

This Pixel Screenshots update also brings app shortcuts that let you “Take a photo” and “Add image” right from your homescreen instead of needing to go through the FAB (floating action button).

When viewing a screenshot, long descriptions are now truncated, so that you don’t have to do a lot of scrolling to access the “Add a note” field or “Add to collection.”

With the October (Feature) Drop, Google announced how you can tack “in Screenshots” to a command to “help you find something you saved in Pixel Screenshots, from wherever you are on your phone.”

Pixel Screenshots 0.24.373.08 is rolling out via the Play Store.
