MIUI 12 is the next major software update for a lot of Xiaomi, Redmi, and Poco branded devices. The update just started rolling out to devices including the Mi 9T, also known as Redmi K20. Now a new MIUI 12 feature has been revealed, and it will help those who take a lot of screenshots. The new feature is called a partial screenshot.
The partial screenshot feature helps you take a screenshot of only certain elements present on the screen. Most people who want to take such specific screenshots, resort to taking regular screenshots, and then cropping the image to remove areas they do not want to disclose. This may include the notification bar, other parts of a chat, or more.

The new feature has just come to the latest MIUI 12 Chinese beta and allows capturing a section of the screen. The new feature will be enabled by giving users a box on-screen that they can drag to any shape they want. Moreover, users will also have the option of free tracing a shape in which the screenshot can be taken. The Chinese beta builds are slowly becoming more and more stable and we expect the feature to come soon to the official builds as well.
