[@eileenbrigette6472]

[@lanceuppercut5939]

Thanks for the tips, your screenshot shortcut of swiping the hand across the screen worked wonders for me.

[@stephaniestolz9419]

Excellent! It WORKED!!
YOU SHOULD TEACH PROFESSIONALLY, you might be one.. What do I know.
Anyway, I'm thrilled. You didn't mess it up with Computer Genius Speak. It was really easy to understand. It also explains why I have screenshots that I didn't plan. The wake-up button and volume down are right where I hold my phone.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@desiraebeitzel1234]

The swipe does work on my Galaxy S21 FE. Thanks, I never knew about the swipe function!🤗

Thank you teacher❤

[@JohnWest-ks3pk]

Thank you very much 🙏

[@KimEllis-kt8ei]

I appreciate all the cool detailed info on variety of phones for screenshot.
Mine screenshots fine, my problem is for years I could click the camera and take a picture, but the last year or so suddenly it forces me to click record in order to access the camera button and even using the camera it still is recording. So I'm wasting memory and whatnot recording when I never wanted to record to begin with, just take a picture with the camera button.
My phone says it's a LG Stylo 5.
It might have started when I was forced to get this phone, as the previous ones battery stopped charging or holding a charge, it was a 3g and they had been constantly bugging me to upgrade to 5g, saying 3G was going to stop working, I heard that for like 5 years with that phone, so when I started having charging issues I went ahead and got basically the same phone but 5g and shortly after that I noticed the not being able to simply take a picture new feature.

[@shereenorth7261]

It's not in the pull-down menu like in my old Android phone. I appreciate your advice it did not however work for me. I think I may have to buy a new phone if I want to take screenshot. What a bummer after spending nearly $500.

[@meenha1976]

Thanks its a new phone, I'm only used to Sony's since no latest ones available and I already have the the Xperia zx3, so oprwdof this Samsung it is the latest lol still donno which one. I was struggling the last 3 days Google took me straight to you ❤🎉
