Use buttons
To take a screenshot is to use the buttons. Press the Volume Down and Power buttons and keep them pressed until you save a screenshot. You can also use this method to screenshot with scroll.
If the main way to take a screenshot not work and you can't find image we'll try other options.
Google Assistant
The slothful option is to use Google Assistant. Just say OK Google and then Take a screenshot. The gadget will do everything for you.
Three-finger swipe
Swipe three fingers down the screen to get a screenshot. The place of swipe is not important. This method is applied in MIUI.
Long screenshot
To take a long screenshot, just tap on the appropriate icon. You will see this icon after you have taken a usual screenshot. This method can also be called to make a scroll screenshot.
Use apps
You can can download and install special apps for screenshots which are a lot in Google Play: Screenshot Easy, Private Screenshots, Screen Master, Screenshot Pro, Screenshot touch etc... They all have instructions on how to use them to take a screenshot and save the picture.
Use Capture icon
Another way is to use the built-in software of the phone. Swipe down on the display and open the notification bar. Locate the screenshot icon (shortcut) there and tap on it to take a screenshot. You've done everything you want to do. You got the picture.
Where do my screenshots go on? If you can't find the screenshots you made, don't despair. The gadget can save screenshots to different folders. 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 comfort.
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 instantly. There you need to choose the appropriate icon for sharing. Or just open the gallery app on your gadget.
These methods work with phones of all operators.
