Today I accidentally triggered an option to "Share this screenshot and link" without actually taking a screenshot with my phone

How do I access this function again or was it a bug? Would be great to quickly share music with images of album artwork this way.

Hey there ​@guacamole. Just take a screenshot while in the “now playing” screen on your phone and it will do this.

Thanks for the reply. Is there another way though? It happened without me taking a screenshot so I must have clicked something or made a gesture.

@guacamole , yeah that’s it as far as I know, if you have a Pixel phone you may have accidentally tapped the back or something.
