Xbox One Smartglass App for Android and iOS Gets a New ScreenShot Feature

[dgstorm]

Microsoft just announced they are adding we are adding the ability to view, share, and save Xbox One screenshots using the iOS and/or Android Xbox One SmartGlass apps. Here's a quote with more of the details straight from Major Nelson:

With over 500 total votes on Xbox Feedback, (Post #1, Post #2) we are adding the ability to view, share, and save Xbox One screenshots in the iOS and Android Xbox One SmartGlass apps, similar to the capabilities already available in the Xbox app on Windows 10. You will find screenshots in the Activity Feed, on profile pages, and in the new Capture hub available from the drawer. This feature will be available soon in the Android Xbox One SmartGlass Beta app (build 2.4.1507 or higher) which is accessible by all users; the beta version for iOS is currently limited to users that are already part of the Xbox One SmartGlass Beta via the Apple store (Build 2.108 or higher).

If there are any forum members who have the Xbox One Smartglass app for their device, please sound off and let us know what you think of it.

Yep. I used to have an Xbox One and used the Smartglass App regularly. It was one of the features I have wanted for a while. The PlayStation App has had a way for you to do it for a while now. It was just not as easy.

Meh...I have the app downloaded, but rarely use it. I don't do a lot of screenshots, but I have done some cool stuff and hollered at Kinect to "Record that". I don't do anything with the videos though, so I'm not really sure why. Haha

I tried to install the XBONE version and neither my phone nor tablet will let me use it. I can login and it won't let me control my xbox.

Weird. Mine works on my Note 4. Can't remember if I ever installed the xbone version on my Nexus 7 though.

nexus 7 with 5.1.1 is very cranky with smartglass.

 

[Jonny Kansas]

I'd imagine so. I've go the first gen and it's pretty cranky with lots of things. Haha!

Anyone tried the xbone app on Windows 10 yet? I didn't get around to it last night and my stepson goes to his dad's today, so it'll be date night tonight, then we're going camping this weekend, so I doubt I'll get to play with it until next week.
