How to take a screenshot on your Android smartphone

Sometimes, you will need to take a picture of your phone's screen. This can be done via the screenshot feature available on most Android devices. When you capture your screen, the picture file will be saved on your device where you can view, edit and share the image. 

How to take a screenshot?  

• Open the screen that you want to capture.

Depending on your phone:

1. Press and hold the Power + Volume down buttons at the same time for a few seconds.
2. If that doesn’t work, press and hold the Power button for a few seconds. Then tap Screenshot.
3. If neither of these work, please go to your phone manufacturer’s support site for help.

Usually, after you take a screenshot, a little screenshot icon  should appear at the top of the screen. You can access your screenshot there.

*Note: If there isn't a Screenshot capture icon, return to the Home screen to find it.
