Take a screenshot with your Samsung smartphone
You can take a screenshot in 2 different ways on a Samsung smartphone. Either way, you can find the screenshot in the gallery.

On/off and volume button
Using a button combination is the easiest way to take a screenshot. On Samsung smartphones, you push the on/off button, also known as the standby button, and the volume down button at the same time. You can find these buttons on the side of your device. The latest Samsung phones have these buttons on the right side. Older models have the volume button on the left and the on/off button on the right of the screen.

You can also control Samsung smartphones with smart gestures. For example, you can take a screenshot this way. Place the side of your hand on the right side of the screen and swipe it left horizontally. You've now taken a screenshot. Didn't work? Check if the settings are correct:
- Go to Settings
- Choose Advanced functions
- Go to Motions and gestures
- Check if Palm swipe to capture is turned on. Is this not the case? Check the circle on the right.
