Moreover, now users can draw free-form shapes and grab the selection portion. Apart from that, Mi users can also choose to capture a screenshot area in a square or a circle.

Once the screenshot area has been selected, one can choose to start over, save the image, or tap on the Send button to share it immediately.

Xiaomi users can activate the Partial screenshot by long-pressing the screen with three fingers. However, the trigger settings can be changed under Xiaomi Settings > Additional Settings > Button Shortcuts > Partial Screenshot.
