How to take a screenshot on Samsung Galaxy

Most Android phone manufacturers have standardized the Android screenshot feature . Therefore, taking screenshots on Samsung Galaxy phones is also extremely easy. You can follow the following ways.

How to Take a Screenshot on Samsung Galaxy Using Buttons

The easiest way to take a screenshot—which almost every modern Android phone has—is to use the Power button and the Volume Down button.

1. Set up your screen the way you want to capture.

2. Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time for a second until the screen is captured. You will see the screen flash and shrink a little.

3. The screenshot toolbar will appear at the bottom of the screen for a few seconds. You can use the tools here to edit the image, but after a moment the screenshot will disappear from the screen and be saved to your photos app.

How to Take a Screenshot on Samsung Galaxy Using Palm Swipe

Samsung Galaxy phones are famous for their gently curved screens. This special screen allows you to perform common actions with just hand gestures - for example, taking a screenshot.

This feature, called “Palm Swipe,” will be enabled by default. But you can check by going to the Settings app:

1. Open the Settings app and tap Advanced features.

2. Select Motions and gestures , then make sure Palm swipe is turned on.

Once enabled, you can take screenshots using the edge of your palm.

1. Bring the content you want to capture onto the screen.

2. Place the edge of your palm on the edge of the device's screen, with your pinky finger facing down the long edge of the phone.

3. Slide your palm across the phone. You can do this in one of two directions - from right to left or from left to right.

You will see the screen flash and minimize, indicating that the screenshot was successfully taken.

How to Take a Screenshot on Samsung Galaxy Using Bixby

Bixby , Samsung's personal assistant (similar to Apple's Siri), can also take screenshots on your behalf.

Assuming you've set up Bixby, here's how to use it:

1. Set up the screen with the content you want to capture.

2. Say, "Hey Bixby, take a screenshot" .

3. Bixby will take a screenshot and save it to Gallery.

How to take a screenshot of a Galaxy screen using Smart Select

If you only want to screenshot a specific part of your screen, rather than the entire screen, you can use the Smart Select feature. This lets you crop your screenshot before taking it, ensuring you only capture what's important.

To use Smart Select, you need to turn on the Edge Panel feature.

1. Open the Settings app and tap Display , then select Edge screen.

2. Click Edge panels to see all available panel options.

3. The first option, Apps edge , may already be enabled. Tap Smart select to enable it.

Once enabled, here's how to take a partial screenshot with Smart Select:

1. Set up the screen with the content you want to capture.

2. Swipe from the top right edge of the screen toward the top left.

3. Swipe until you see the Smart select options. If you have multiple panels enabled, you may need to swipe a few times.

4. When you see the Smart select panel , tap the tool you want, such as rectangle.

5. Position and resize the area to be captured, then tap Done.

6. When you're ready, tap the Save button at the bottom of the screen (down arrow) to save your selection to the Gallery.

If you're using a Galaxy Note 8, you can also take out the S Pen to activate the Air Command feature, then choose Smart select from the menu that appears.

How to Take a Screenshot of an Entire Page at Once on Samsung Galaxy

Normally when you take a screenshot, only what you can currently see on the screen is captured. This is usually fine, but it won't work if you're trying to screenshot an entire web page or a long post.

In these situations, you should use the Scrolling Capture feature. This will take a long screenshot of whatever you want.

Before you can use Scrolling Capture, you need to enable it in the Settings app. Just open the Settings app and tap Advanced features , then select Smart capture to enable it.

After you enable this feature:

1. Take a screenshot using any of the methods described above.

2. When the screenshot toolbar appears at the bottom, tap the Scroll Capture icon — it looks like a box with two downward-pointing arrows inside.

Each time you tap the button it will make the screenshot longer, so keep tapping until everything you want is captured.

There are other options in the toolbar, including a crop button, an annotation button (so you can draw on the screenshot), and a share button.

And if you're using a Galaxy with an S Pen, you can also take long screenshots by taking out the S Pen, selecting Screen write , then selecting Scroll capture .
