There are 6 easy ways to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy A42 phone and a few more best tips tricks and cool hidden features to get a screenshot in the fastest way.
They are different and differ from the phone model. You can capture a screenshot using the Volume Down and Power buttons or the button on the back cover. Or you can do it without buttons. For example, using Palm swipe, using Smart select or programs from Google Play. Well, if the screenshot doesn't work, you can try Google Assistant or Samsung's Bixby.
We understand that you are smart. Therefore, there will be no instructions like select the screen you want to save or turn on your device. No nonsense. Only the required information how to make a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy A42 phone.
Use buttons
The quickest way to take a screenshot is to use the buttons. Simultaneously press the Volume Down and Power buttons and keep them pressed until the screenshot is captured. You can also use this method to screenshot with scroll.
If the first way to take a screenshot not work and you can't find picture we'll try other options.
Smart select
Samsung's Smart select option is exclusively useful. It allows you to capture any part of the screen of the selected shape (square or oval) and still create GIF animation.
Google Assistant
The slothful way is to use Google Assistant. Just say OK Google and then Take a screenshot. The phone will do everything for you.
Use apps
You can use additional screenshot apps which are very much in Google Play: Screenshot Pro, Screen Master, Private Screenshots, Screenshot touch, Screenshot Easy etc... They all have instructions on how to use them to take a screenshot and save the picture.
Bixby
The Bixby voice assistant can also be used to take a screenshot. Using Bixby is similar to Google Assistant.
Palm swipe
Just swipe the side of your palm across the screen from one side to the other palm from one side of the screen to the other (as if wiping it) to take a screenshot using the Palm Swipe. It doesn't matter which side you move your palm from.
Where are my screenshots? If you can't find the screenshots you took, don't despair. The places where the gadget saves screenshots and regular 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 different folder for your convenience.
How can I share my screenshots? Depending on the Android version and the custom shell, sending screenshots may differ. In new versions of Android (9 or 10), the quick actions menu will arise after you take a screenshot instantly. There you need to select the appropriate icon for sharing. Or just open the gallery app on your phone.
This is suitable for gadgets of all operators.
