An easy way to take screenshots on Android

In Goople Play Store, you can find a lot of apps that helps you to take screenshots. But, is it really necessary to download such apps and waste your memory? No! The ability to take screenshots is built into the OS!

For the vast majority of Android phones and tablets, to take a screenshot you simply press and hold the power and volume-down buttons together. After a few seconds the screen will flash and a notification will appear in the drop-down bar at the top of the screen, giving you options to delete, share or edit the image. You can also access the screenshot from your Gallery.

For some devices, there are also other ways to take a screenshot. For example, in Sampsung Galaxy s6 you press and hold the power and home buttons together.

Other devices supports gestures for this purpose. You can turn on this functionality in Settings, Motions and gestures.
