Are you thrilled to own the latest Samsung Galaxy S20? One of the most common tasks that you will need to perform is taking screenshots. Whether it’s for capturing a funny meme, sharing an important message or saving a recipe, taking a screenshot on your Galaxy S20 can be incredibly useful. However, with several different methods available, figuring out how to take one might seem daunting at first. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through six easy and effective ways to capture screenshots on your Samsung Galaxy S20. So grab your phone and let’s get started!
Section 1 — Hold the buttons
The first and most straightforward method to capture a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S20 is by pressing the physical buttons. To take a screenshot using this method, press and hold the side button (also known as the power key) located on the right-hand side of your phone. At the same time, press and hold down the volume down button located on the left-hand side of your device.
The key here is to hold both buttons simultaneously for a few seconds until you see an animation or hear a shutter sound. Once you’ve successfully captured your screenshot, it will appear in your notifications bar along with options for editing or sharing.
It’s worth noting that if you’re finding it difficult to press both buttons at once or are accidentally triggering other functions like Bixby instead of taking screenshots, there are alternative methods available as well. However, holding down these two physical buttons remains one of the easiest ways to snap screenshots quickly and efficiently.
Section 2 — Palm swipe gesture
If you’re not a fan of pressing buttons, the Samsung Galaxy S20 provides an alternative way to take screenshots using the palm swipe gesture. This feature makes it possible for you to capture your screen without touching any button on your phone.
To use this method, ensure that the “Palm swipe to capture” option is enabled in your phone’s settings. Then go ahead and open up the screen you want to capture.
Next, place your hand vertically on either side of your phone’s screen, making sure that it touches both edges at once. Now simply swipe across the screen with the edge of your palm while keeping contact with it until you hear a shutter sound or see an animation confirming that you’ve successfully taken a screenshot.
It’s important to note that this feature may not work if certain conditions are not met such as having dirt or moisture on your hands which can interfere with touch recognition. Also be careful not to accidentally touch other parts of the screen during swiping as this could cause unwanted actions like opening apps or scrolling pages.
In summary, using the palm swipe gesture is another easy and convenient way to take screenshots on your Samsung Galaxy S20 device.
Section 3 — Smart Capture
One of the features that Samsung Galaxy S20 offers is Smart Capture. This feature allows you to capture more than just a screenshot. You can also take a scrolling screenshot, crop or edit it afterward.
To activate this feature, hold down the Power button and Volume Down button at the same time until you see the screenshot animation. Then, tap on “Scroll Capture” in the menu that appears at the bottom of your screen.
Once you’ve selected Scroll Capture, it will automatically start taking screenshots as it scrolls down your page. When finished, simply click “Done”.
Another option available with Smart Capture is cropping your screenshot after taking it. Simply select Crop from within the editing options and adjust accordingly.
If you need to edit any parts of your screenshot (such as adding text or drawing on it), simply go back into Edit mode and make any necessary changes using various tools provided by Samsung Galaxy S20.
With its versatility and ease-of-use, Smart Capture provides an excellent way to capture content beyond just simple screenshots!
Section 4 — Use Bixby
Bixby is Samsung’s virtual assistant that enables users to interact with their devices through voice commands or touch. With Bixby, taking a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S20 has never been easier. Here’s how you can do it:
First, activate Bixby by pressing the side button or saying “Hi Bixby” if you have enabled voice activation.
Once activated, say “Take a screenshot.” You may also opt to hold down the side button and then say the command.
Bixby will then automatically take a screenshot of whatever is currently displayed on your screen. You will receive a notification telling you that the capture was saved successfully.
What’s great about using Bixby for screenshots is that it allows for hands-free operation which comes in handy when you need both hands for other tasks. Moreover, if you’re always forgetting which buttons to press and swipe gestures to perform, this feature eliminates any confusion as all you need are simple voice commands.
Section 5 — Use Google Assistant
If you don’t want to use your hands at all, there’s another way to take a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S20. You can simply ask Google Assistant for help! This feature is extremely useful if you’re multitasking or have dirty hands.
To start, activate Google Assistant by saying “OK Google” or holding the home button. Once it appears, say “Take a screenshot,” and it will automatically capture whatever is on your screen.
It’s important to note that this feature only works if you have enabled voice activation for Google Assistant. If not, head over to the app settings and turn on this feature.
Using Google Assistant makes taking screenshots even easier than before! Just remember to speak clearly and make sure that there isn’t too much background noise when using this method.
Section 6 — Smart Select
Taking a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S20 is now easier than ever. From holding the buttons to using Smart Select, you have multiple options for capturing whatever content you need.
So whether it’s capturing an interesting article or saving a funny meme, use these methods to get the perfect screenshot every time. Take advantage of all that your Samsung device has to offer and share your screenshots with family and friends.
Now go ahead and try out these different ways of taking screenshots for yourself!
