Screen Shots

You are awesome!!! That's was driving me crazy!

Glad I wasn't the only one.,

there's an app called SideActions that allow you to map the power button with a long press to take screenshots. That's what I've been doing on all my previous Notes. I find that to be much easier than a palm swipe or any other method.

It all depends and everyone likes their own method, glad we have different options. For me, I own many different Android phones and volume down+power button combo I can do even in sleep on all Android phones. That works fast, easy and something that's burnt into my memory by default. Tomorrow in some Android version if they change and I can't use that, I'll be still fine since I'll use some other method and it'll again part of my habit in no time.

Again, unless you guys use gestures for the navigation bar, there is nothing better than Good Lock.

A soft touch screenshot button literally in the navigation bar next to the Home Recents Back keys

 

[bhatech]

Yeah I use gestures, been using that for years and can't go back to navigation bar. That's also an individual preference just like anything else, like the way you take screenshots.

Absolutely.

But for those who still use the nav bar, good lock is the way to go. My nav bar has like 4 additional functions.

I do have good lock, also have had several notes but for me I use edge panel with task I have gotten use to it.I have long fingernails and pushing 2 buttons at same time is not convenient to me

Nice !!!! Absolutely what ever works best for you

I just installed the task edge panel and it works like a charm. Thanks.

Just swipe your hand across the screen. Why wouldn't that be the easiest method. Lol.

 

[KupKrazy]

I don't take so many screenshots that I need a button for it in my navigation bar. I do mostly use palm swipe, but sometimes when I swipe, I move the screen and it takes the wrong shot. Otherwise I just go and do the power button/lower volume button press. To me, that seems to be the most reliable and easiest since I hold the phone in my left hand usually and my fingers are already there. Next up, I would take out my other phone, and take a picture of the screen, and then smart share the photo back to my phone. Yes, I'm kidding about the last one.

Palm swipe will take a screen shot

I know everyone hates Bixby but.... you can tell Bixby to take a screenshot

 

[Tech friend]

FWIW:

I often take screenshots on my Note9. I use the Samsung Assistant menu for this (Settings > Accessibility > Interaction and dexterity > Assistant menu).

Google Assistant does this as well.

Google Assistant does this as well.

Really? When I say "Hey Google, take a screenshot", it transcribes "Take a screenshot" properly, but replies "Sorry, I don't understand". Is there something extra I have to enable? (US unlocked S22U)

Long press home button; assistant pops up, say "Take a screenshot", works.

Just verified (after setting Google Assistant up which I forgot to do on the new phone, and shutting the mic off on the mini next to me) "Hey Google, take a screenshot" works as well on my S22Ultra on Verizon.

Go to Google discovery tap your account upper right corner >setting>Google assistance >personal results toggle on

Yup that's already turned on, but it still doesn't understand when I tell it to take a screenshot.

Try going to Google app clear data then force stop it and setup assistant again and the toggle back on
