If you want to take a screenshot on your Android Phone or Android tablet, this is something that can be done easily. The way this is done may vary slightly depending on your device manufacturer, although many devices use the same methods.
This guide is designed to show you how to easily take a screenshot on your Android Phone or tablet and then how you can access these screenshots.
Follow the steps below to take a screenshot on your Android device:
- Find the Power and Volume Down buttons on your phone. These buttons are usually located on the side or top of your phone and are used for a variety of functions.
- Press and hold both the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Depending on your phone, you may need to hold the buttons for a few seconds before the screenshot is taken.
- Release the buttons when you hear a camera shutter sound or when you see a notification on your screen indicating that a screenshot has been taken.
- You can access your screenshots by opening the Gallery app on your phone and navigating to the Screenshots album. This is where all of your screenshots are automatically saved.
- Alternatively, you can view your screenshot by pulling down the notification shade from the top of your screen and tapping on the screenshot notification. This will open the screenshot in your phone’s default image viewer, where you can view it, share it, or edit it as needed.
Some Android devices may have slightly different steps for taking a screenshot, depending on the manufacturer and model of the device. For example, some devices may require you to press and hold the home button in addition to the power and volume buttons. If the above steps do not work on your device, you can try looking up the specific instructions for your device online or in the device’s user manual.
