Google Assistant
The slothful way is to use Google Assistant. Just say OK Google and then Take a screenshot. The phone will do all the work for you. How do I share my screenshots? Depending on the Android version and the built-in shell, sending screenshots may differ. In recent versions of Android (9 or 10), the quick actions menu will appear after you take a screenshot immediately. There you need to select the appropriate icon for sharing. Or just open the gallery app on your gadget.
Where can I find screenshots I made? If you can't find the screenshots you took, don't despair. The places where the phone saves screenshots and usual photo may be different. Again, it all depends on custom shells. A pure Android throws pictures into the gallery (DCIM). Other shells can save screenshots to a separate folder for your comfort.
This is suitable for phones of all operators.
