How to take screenshots on your iPhone or Android phone

No matter your phone, there are tons of reasons to take a quick screenshot. Perhaps it's to save a cool post on Instagram or document the newest in high fashion to help you dress better, or maybe it's to archive a wonderful text conversation you had with your friends or family.
And whether you have a newer iPhone like the 11 or 11 Pro or one with a home button or you're rocking an Android phone, we found the best ways to capture your screen. We also explore the unique ways to take a screenshot with Motorola phones, like the Moto G7 and Z4 and their three-finger technique, and Samsung's palm swipe screenshot method found on Galaxy phones like the S10, Note 10 and Galaxy Fold.

[@aspect_productions]

Okay!

[@ripley2164]

I don't consider myself tech savvy but your advice was so easy that I was able to take a screen shot on my first attempt and send it to someone. Thank you so much for making my day :)

[@munchies08]

Thanks man, You explained better than the other KZbinrs I watched, They explained nothing. You just earned a sub!

[@Samdavidd]

You have to tell that, power+home+volume down on older Samsung devices Or power+home button on some Samsung's

Omg so relatable, 😂😂😂😂 😐

[@jacknjill3000]

Thanks for the clear explanation and you’re right about doing accidental screenshots in the past for iPhones without a home button. But it’s a little tricky bc I was pressing the home button and after pressing the volume up button and it would always go to the turn off option. I’ll try pressing both buttons at the same time and see if that works. They should make it more easy and obvious you’re in screenshot mode.

[@ayushroy3514]

Who doesnt know how to do it in 2019? N why am i recommended this??

I just searched up how to take a screenshot in Samsung and I was surprised to see so many vids about it XD

[@Reempte]

I just hold my power button and tap "screenshot". I have the Pixel 3xl. I use the power and volume button only when I have limited time to take the screenshot

[@patrickholland8522]

That right

Thanks for the tips. The palm thing didn't work but the edge panel did. On my Samsung A50 you have to click Task when you access the panels in order for it to work.

I have a Galaxy A32 5g. There used to be a screenshot button but they've removed it and put screen recording on. I hate when they do that. How do I still do a screenshot? The side button or palm don't work either. Thank you.

[@meggtokyodelicious]

There is a way to snapshot screen by sliding the screen. Cuz pressing the button s will shorten shelf life of cellphone s. Am not a techie, just got my first 5g cellphone.

[@yayabeauchamp4864]

You must obviously be a iPhone user. Samsung galaxy phones for last two years you can have your navigation screen with 4 options rather than standard 3. The 4th option allows you to just touch the navigation bar to take screen shot and then also send it, edit it, mark it, or just simply save it. Get with the times. Android is light years ahead of iPhone. You night also discover that it is not only Samsung phones that you can use Palm swipe.many android phones have this. Even the old ones, and you can swipe any direction not just from right to left. Catch up!!
