The Power Button & Volume Down Combo

If the three-finger method isn‘t your style, the power button and volume down combo is another popular option:

2. Press and hold the power button and the volume down button simultaneously. You’ll hear a camera shutter sound, and the screen will briefly flash.
3. Locate your screenshot: Your screenshot will be saved in the “Gallery” app under the “Screenshots” album.

Capturing a Specific Area: The Smart Selection Tool

2. Open the “Quick Settings” panel: Swipe down from the top of the screen.
3. Tap the “Smart Selection” icon: It looks like a small square with a plus sign inside.
4. Select the area you want to capture: Drag your finger across the screen to choose the desired region.
5. Save your screenshot: Once you’ve selected the area, tap the “Save” button in the bottom right corner.

Taking a Scrolling Screenshot: The Long Screenshot Feature

Need to capture a web page, document, or long chat conversation? The long screenshot feature is your solution:
1. Open the screen you want to capture.
2. Use either the three-finger method or the power button and volume down combo to take a screenshot.

Utilizing the Screenshot Toolbar

After taking a screenshot, a handy toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen, offering additional options:
Edit: This allows you to edit your screenshot directly. You can add text, draw, crop, or blur areas.
Share: Tap this to share your screenshot via various apps, including messaging, email, and social media.

Taking Screenshots with the Notification Panel

1. Open the screen you want to capture.
2. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the “Notification Panel.”
3. Tap the “Screenshot” icon: It usually looks like a camera icon with a square inside.
