Are you looking for how to create a screenshot on Samsung phones? Hold on.
Samsung has been among the leading manufacturers of smartphones in the market.
They have their own version of the Android operating system, called Samsung One UI, which has made taking screenshots on their devices even more accessible.
Here's a guide on how to take a screenshot on Samsung Smartphones from A to E.
A.Using Basic method for all Samsung devices
The most basic way to take a screenshot on any Samsung device is through a combination of hardware buttons. This includes:
1. Pressing and holding the Power button: This is the button located on the right-hand side or top of your device (depending on your model).
2. Pressing the Volume Down button: This is the button located on the left-hand side of your device.
3. Releasing both buttons at the same time: Wait for a second and release both the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously.
Your Samsung device should now take a screenshot of the screen, and a notification should appear at the top of your screen.
You can click on the notification to view the screenshot or alternatively access it from the Gallery app.
B. Taking a screenshot with a gesture
If you find using a combination of the hardware buttons challenging, you can opt to take screenshots using a gesture.
This method is available on Samsung devices with One UI 2.0 or higher. Here are the steps:
1. Swipe the edge of your palm across the screen from right to left (or left to right depending on your preference).
2. Make sure you swipe from the edge of the screen and not touch any buttons.
3. You can enable this feature by going to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures > Palm swipe to capture.
C. Using Samsung's Smart Capture Feature
Samsung's Smart Capture feature is useful when you want to take a screenshot that includes a long page, a scrolling menu, or multiple windows. Here is how you can use this feature:
1. Press and hold the Power button and Volume Down button, or use the palm gesture to take a screenshot.
2. A toolbar should appear at the bottom of your screen.
3. You can select the Scroll capture option to capture the entire page, even the parts that are not visible on your screen.
4. Click on the capture icon to capture the selected area.
D. Taking a screenshot with Bixby
Bixby is Samsung's virtual assistant, and you can use it to take screenshots too. Here are the steps:
1. Wake up Bixby by pressing and holding down the Bixby button located below the volume rocker on your device.
2. Say "Take a screenshot" or "Capture the screen."
3. Bixby should take the screenshot, and you can access it through the Gallery app.
E. Using a Third-Party App
If you prefer not to use any of the methods mentioned above, you can also use a third-party app to take screenshots.
Some popular options are Screenshot Easy, Super Screenshot, and Screen Master.
