Screenshot help

[crashthomo]

Hi

I have just gone from years of Sony to my first Samsung and have the s22, problem is I can't find how to take screenshot.

Have tried power button plus volume down button but no joy.. not sure if I have turned something off but any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

I do 2 things
1, I ask Bixby, hay Bixby take a screenshot

2 I swipe the screen with the side of my hand, from the middle of the screen to 👉 right,

Hi @crashthomo   Like @IndiW I  think the easiest methods  are via the Palm Gesture  and  Bixby.   just ensure  Palm Gesture  is switched on in Settings. Go to Settings-Advanced Features-Motions and Gestures-Palm Swipe to Capture. Simply swipe the edge of your Hand across the screen. You can also do it via the Edge Panel  where you will find the Take screenshot icon.

Hello! I'd be happy to help you with taking a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S22.

It's possible that the method you tried, which is pressing the Power button and Volume Down button simultaneously, may not have worked due to a software setting or issue. Here are some other methods you can try:

Method 1: Using the Side key and Volume down key

1. Navigate to the screen you want to capture.
2. Press and hold the Side key (the button on the right side of the phone) and the Volume down key (the button on the left side of the phone) simultaneously.
3. Hold the buttons until you see a flash animation or hear a sound, indicating that the screenshot has been taken.
4. The screenshot will be saved to the Screenshots folder in your Gallery app.

Method 2: Using the Palm swipe gesture

1. Navigate to the screen you want to capture.
2. Go to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures > Palm swipe to capture.
3. Make sure the switch is turned on.
4. Swipe the edge of your hand across the screen from right to left or left to right.
5. You will see a flash animation or hear a sound, indicating that the screenshot has been taken.
6. The screenshot will be saved to the Screenshots folder in your Gallery app.

Method 3: Using Bixby Voice

1. Navigate to the screen you want to capture.
2. Say "Hey Bixby" or press and hold the Bixby button to activate Bixby Voice.
3. Say "Take a screenshot" or "Capture the screen."
4. Bixby will capture the screenshot and save it to your Screenshots folder.

I hope this helps you take a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S22! Let me know if you have any other questions.
