Introduction:
Welcome to our latest guide on how to capture screenshots on Samsung devices! Whether you're using a Samsung smartphone or tablet, taking screenshots is a handy feature that can help you save and share important information, memorable moments, or interesting content. In this blog post, we'll walk you through the various methods to take screenshots on Samsung devices.
How to take a screenshot with the Power and Volume Down buttons
This is the most common method to take a screenshot on Android, and it works on all devices, including the beautiful Motorola Edge 30 pictured below. First, open the screen you want to capture on your Android device and press the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously. On most Android smartphones, you can find the two buttons on the right edge.
Press Volume Down and Power at the same time
When the screenshot is made, you hear a sound. You also see a thumbnail of the screenshot, like in the picture below. Next to this thumbnail, you also have two buttons: one for sharing the screenshot with others using the apps installed on your Android device and the other for editing the screenshot.
Depending on the manufacturer of your Android device, alongside the two buttons, you may see additional ones for adding things like tags, etc.
How to take a scrolling screenshot on Android phones and tablets
A scrolling screenshot can be taken when accessing apps and content that occupies multiple screens. To take such a screenshot, first access the app and the content you want to capture and press the Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously. When you see the screenshot’s thumbnail on the screen, tap the Capture more button.
A special window is shown on the screen with a preview of the scrolling content you want to capture and a grid whose margins can be dragged left and right, up and down. Drag those margins to include the content you want to capture.
When you have captured inside the grid all the content you want inside your scrolling screenshot, tap Save.
Tap Save to create the scrolling screenshot
The screenshot is then saved and can be viewed in the Photos app or the Gallery app installed by the manufacturer of your device.
How to screenshot on Android without buttons (using Google Assistant)
If you don’t want to use buttons to take screenshots on Android, you can ask Google Assistant to take a screenshot for you. However, you need to have it set up before being able to use it. To activate it, say, “Hey Google” or “OK Google,” and then ask, “take a screenshot.” Alternatively, you can tap the microphone icon on the Google widget and ask Google Assistant to take the screenshot.
How to take a screenshot from Android’s app switcher
Google offers a neat way of taking screenshots on its Pixel lineup of smartphones: open the app or the page you’d like to capture and drag your finger upwards from the bottom of the screen until you see the thumbnail list of all the apps you have opened. When the recent apps appear, tap the Screenshot icon.
This takes a screenshot of the app you last opened. If you navigate to other previously opened apps, the Screenshot icon becomes grayed out and cannot be tapped.
How to screenshot on Android using Screen Master
If you don’t like the methods available on all Android versions, you can also install a third-party screenshot-taking app, like Screen Master. This app lets you change the file format used for screenshots and their quality and also gives you the option to take screenshots in new ways, like shaking your phone or using a floating button.

How do you take screenshots on your Android device?
The methods in this guide work well on all Android phones and tablets, no matter who makes them and which flavor of Android is installed. Sure, manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OnePlus, or Motorola have additional methods you can use, but none are as easy to perform. Try them all out, and then choose the one(s) that work best for you.

Using Hardware Buttons
Locate the content you want to capture on your Samsung device's screen.
Simultaneously press and hold the "Power" button (usually located on the right-hand side of your device) and the "Volume Down" button (usually located on the left-hand side).
Hold both buttons for a moment, and you'll hear a camera shutter sound and see a brief animation indicating that the screenshot has been taken.
Your screenshot is now saved in the "Screenshots" folder in the "Gallery" app. You can access it later or share it with friends and family.
Using Palm Swipe Gesture
Ensure that the Palm Swipe gesture is enabled on your Samsung device. You can do this by going to "Settings" > "Advanced features" > "Motions and gestures" > "Palm swipe to capture."
Find the content you want to capture on your screen.
Place the edge of your hand (pinkie finger down, thumb towards the screen) on one side of the screen, and swipe it horizontally across the screen.
You'll see the same visual and audio cues (camera shutter sound) as in the first method, indicating that the screenshot has been taken.
The screenshot is saved in the "Screenshots" folder, as with the first method.
Using Bixby Voice Assistant
Activate Bixby by pressing and holding the Bixby button (usually located on the left side of the device) or saying, "Hey Bixby."
Once Bixby is active, say, "Take a screenshot."
Bixby will instantly capture a screenshot of your screen and save it in the "Screenshots" folder.
Using the Notification Panel
Swipe down from the top of your screen to open the notification panel.
Find and tap the "Screenshot" icon. This icon looks like a small phone screen with a pencil or pen on it.
Your Samsung device will capture a screenshot immediately and save it in the "Screenshots" folder.
