We\u2019ve been digging through the QPR release to find new features, and we\u2019ve spotted two new buttons that will help users who take a lot of screenshots \u2014 but perhaps not on their phones.<\/p>\n<p>In Android 17 QPR1 Beta 3, we managed to enable two new icons\/buttons in the screenshot overlay. These are \u201cCopy to clipboard\u201d and \u201cOpen in folder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_rg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(min-width: 64rem) 51.25rem, 80vw\" title=\"Android 17 QPR1 Beta 3 New buttons in the screenshot overlay (2)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-3-New-buttons-in-the-screenshot-overlay-2.jpg 855w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-3-New-buttons-in-the-screenshot-overlay-2-29w-64h.jpg 29w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-3-New-buttons-in-the-screenshot-overlay-2-641w-1440h.jpg 641w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-3-New-buttons-in-the-screenshot-overlay-2-481w-1080h.jpg 481w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-3-New-buttons-in-the-screenshot-overlay-2-385w-864h.jpg 385w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-3-New-buttons-in-the-screenshot-overlay-2-169w-380h.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-3-New-buttons-in-the-screenshot-overlay-2-534w-1200h.jpg 534w\" alt=\"Android 17 QPR1 Beta 3 New buttons in the screenshot overlay (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Android-17-QPR1-Beta-3-New-buttons-in-the-screenshot-overlay-2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>AssembleDebug \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_rg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_rg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"9.375rem\" title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png 676w, https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x-64w-20h.png 64w\" alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As the name implies, the \u201cCopy to clipboard\u201d icon copies the screenshot to your clipboard, allowing you to paste it directly into other apps that support pasting images into text input fields.
