TL;DR

• Android is preparing to update scrolling screenshots so the system automatically deletes the original image after you save the expanded version.
• This change prevents gallery clutter by removing the redundant initial screenshot once the full scrolling capture is saved or shared.
• We spotted this quality-of-life improvement in the latest Android Canary build, and it could arrive in the Android 16 QPR3 stable release next March.

Somehow I still get pissed that old phones I don't use won't be affected by this because they're more than four years old and nobody in their right mind would ever buy them even for like eighty dollars
