Use one of two common methods to take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy. These approaches work with the Galaxy S9, S9 Plus, S8, S8 Plus, Note 8, S7, S7 Edge and the majority of older models.

Swipe your hand across the screen to the opposite edge to take a screenshot. Your phone makes a camera shutter noise or visually indicates you've taken a screenshot, and it is saved to your gallery. If this doesn't work, activate the option by going to ""Settings,"" then ""Advanced Features"" and ticking the box beside ""Palm Swipe to Capture."" The alternate method uses button presses. For the S8, S8 Plus, Note 8, S9 or S9 Plus, take a screenshot by pressing the power button and the volume-down button simultaneously. Hold them down until you hear a shutter sound or see a visual indication that the screenshot has been taken. For older models, press the power button and the ""Home"" button on the front of the cellphone to take the screenshot.

Press the power button and the volume-down button simultaneously and hold them until you see the screenshot briefly show on screen. For devices in the G series, the power button is on the back of the handset, which makes this a slightly trickier process than on other Android phones. For the Q Stylus, though, the power button is on the right edge of the phone and the volume-down button is on the left.
