How to Take Screenshots on Your Smartphone

Screenshots are a handy tool that allows us to take pictures of things on our screen so that we can save memories, send memes to friends, or remember the details of an event. You can take screenshots on any smartphone, but every smartphone is different. For example, how you take a screenshot on an iPhone is not the same as on a Samsung Galaxy. In addition, as smartphone models evolve and change, how they take screenshots may also vary. Here’s to take screenshots on your smartphone.

iPhones have seen some pretty major design changes in recent models, namely getting rid of the TouchID home button. To take a screenshot on iPhone 13 models and other models with FaceID, just press the top volume button and the side power button simultaneously.

For older models with the TouchID home buttons, you’d press this button and the side power button at the same time. Some models, such as the iPhone 5s and SE, may have a power button on the top of the phone.

Taking a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy is a little different. Press the side power button and the volume down button simultaneously to take a screenshot. Like iPhones, there are many models and designs of Samsung Galaxies, so the placement of the volume and power buttons may differ depending on the model.

Take a screenshot on a Google Pixel the same way you take one on a Samsung Galaxy — by holding the side power button and the volume down button at the same time. Google Pixel also allows you to take a scrolling screenshot by holding the power and volume down buttons together, then tapping “Capture More” at the bottom of your screen. Then, use the crop guidelines to determine what you want to capture in your screenshot.

Alternatively, you take a screenshot by swiping up from the bottom of your screen and holding or pressing “Overview.” Then, choose the open app you want to screenshot and tap “Screenshot.”

OnePlus phones allow you to take screenshots by holding the power and volume down buttons together. If activated in your phone’s settings, you can also take a screenshot by swiping from the top of the screen downwards with three fingers.
