And voila, your screenshot is ready. But what if you want to do it on your phone?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you want to take a screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5 or even newer models, like Galaxy S6 or S7, you need to follow a few simple steps. Then, you will see the image in your phone\u2019s gallery, from where you can do everything you want with it, like share it or edit it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, without much further ado, let\u2019s see how you can take screenshots on some of Samsung\u2019s most recent flagships!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to take a screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5, S6 or S7 using the buttons<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most used method of doing this is by pressing a few of the phone\u2019s hardware buttons at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the app, image, video or anything you want to capture a screenshot from<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press the Power Button and the Home Button at the same time, for 1-2 seconds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will see a white flash around the phone\u2019s screen and hear a camera shutter sound. This means that the screenshot was successfully taken<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open the Gallery and you should see a Screenshots folder. Here you can find your latest screenshot<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to take a screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S5, S6 or S7 using a swipe<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, you can use another method to do this as well. Specifically, we\u2019re talking about swiping your palm on the display in order to take a capture. However, this method needs to be enabled, first, in order to use it properly. <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to Settings &gt; Motions and Gestures<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the Palm swipe to capture option<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the app, image, video or anything you want to capture a screenshot from<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swipe the edge of your hand from the right side to another of the screen. Make sure you cover the entire width of the screen<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will see a white frame flashing on this screen and hear a camera shutter sound. This means that the screenshot was successfully taken<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out the screenshot you\u2019ve just taken, in the Screenshots folder<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the Samsung Galaxy S6 or S7, you can use exactly the same methods in order to take a screenshot, whether we\u2019re talking about the regular versions or Edge ones. Things do change when it comes to the Galaxy S8 or S9 since these don\u2019t have a Home Button anymore, but we\u2019ll get to this in another guide. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re doing it on your PC, it\u2019s really simple: you press Print Screen on your keyboard, open Paint, paste the image, then save it.
