In a society increasingly driven by innovation, Samsung seeks to enrich and simplify the lives of its users by capitalizing on practical, flexible and easy-to-use features.
Thus, the brand offers them the keys to greater freedom to create experiences that belong 100% to them.
To keep track of what is displayed on your smartphone, nothing like a screenshot, for example.
The principle is to capture an image of the content displayed by his device, to share it with a third party or keep it in his archives.
The methods vary according to the brand of his phone, but also according to the model.
For Samsung, there are different techniques.

The screenshot: what is it for?
What is a screenshot?
Screenshot is a handy feature to save an image and share it with other people.
The principle is to duplicate the content of a screen by simply pressing one or more buttons.
This option has been around since the mid-1960s, but was originally only for computer-based text content.
The functionality was quickly developed to allow a copy of all or part of the visible screen, on computer as well as on smartphone.
What utilities?
Screenshots are useful in many ways.
Among other things, they allow:
To record a conversation, in particular in the event of harassment or insults
To record an error message or a warning window
To archive the development and state of a website
To image a tutorial or a practical guide
To immortalize an important fact.
Some applications, to avoid security vulnerabilities, block taking screenshots.
This is for example the case of banking apps.
If it is easy to take screenshots on a computer, the operation is also possible on a smartphone, especially on a Samsung device.
Take a screenshot via a Samsung phone: the guide
To take a screenshot with your Samsung smartphone, the most common way is to hold down the "On/Off" and "Volume down" buttons simultaneously.
When you do this, the screen starts flashing and the screenshot is saved.
On some Samsung phones, you have to hold down the "Home" and "On/Off" buttons simultaneously.
Similarly, once done, the screen flashes and the screenshot is saved.
On other Samsung smartphones, to capture the image, simply swipe the screen with the edge of your hand, from right to left or vice versa.
Beforehand, you must have activated the “Swipe to capture” function.
To do this, go to your phone's settings, click on "Advanced functions", then on "Motions and gestures", and activate this function.
Note also that once the screenshot is taken, it is automatically saved in your photo gallery.
You can then move it from one album to another, edit it (crop it, add annotations, etc.) and/or share it, like any other image.
In case of difficulty or if you need assistance, do not hesitate to contact Samsung via the Samsung Members application.
