Currently it is cumbersome for the user to repeatedly scroll and take a screenshot if they want to capture more than what can fit on the screen at a time.

I would like to implement functionality such that at the request of a user (e.g. via tapping a special button on a custom keyboard), screenshots of the entire scrollable area of the currently opened app are automatically taken and stitched together.

Is this possible? And if so, how?

To clarify, the application containing the scrollable area is a third party application over which I have no control, e.g. iMessage or Facebook.

Edit: I am aware of answers like this one and this one that are about taking screenshots within an app that I control. As far as I can tell, these are not applicable in my situation. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.

This is not possible. Each app is contained in a protected sandbox that no other apps have access to.

You could make a custom keyboard, but you still wouldn't have access to any of the views in the app that you don't control.
