I just got my new phone, S6 Edge, converted from an IPhone 5. I love the new phone but there are a few things I'm still learning. One is about making screenshots. It was easy on my IPhone but not so easy on this phone! I need help!

On Android phones in general, hold the power button and volume up button simultaneously for a few seconds until you hear the "shutter" sound. You will find the screenshot in your Photos gallery.

Welcome to the forums. N4Newbie might be right. I think Galaxy devices are home and power to take a screenshot. It's been a while since I had a Galaxy.

Hold the home and power button for about 2 seconds and you'll see a "ghost" of the screen shot zoom out and save to your gallery. You can also enable "palm swipe to capture" screen shot in the motions and gesture settings.

Via the Android Central App on my S6 Edge
