screenshots

So I used to be able to take a ss by swiping the entire screen left to right. Now that doesn't work?? I HATE having to push volume plus power button at the same time. PITA. Is there an easier way on Oreo???

Welcome to Android Central! Go to Settings>Advanced Features. Is that feature turned on? https://www.androidcentral.com/how-take-screenshot-galaxy-note-8

I figure if you get the updated OS. You may need to re-setup things like shortcuts for screen shots

IMO the easiest way to screenshot is to use the spen. Just remove the pen, select "screen write", and save.

Swiping full hand left to right still works though.

I prefer the "smart select" if I'm doing a small section and not going to write on it. Otherwise I use the power and volume down buttons.

I use the edge panel to do screenshots, it's easiesr and quicker than any other methods I've found.

My swipe left to right works fine, before and after the Oreo Update - just did one two nights ago Mama2Many! Like B. Diddy stated, check to see if it got turned off somehow during the update. Mine did not!

I agree, the SPen is in my hand anyway, it's the best option for me
