While taking screenshots on Android devices is generally the same, Samsung phones have their own unique methods. The Galaxy S22 series offers several ways to take screenshots, which we’ll cover below.
One of the most common ways to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S22 is by pressing two physical buttons simultaneously. This can be done by pressing the Power Button (also known as the Side Key) and the Volume Down key at the same time, then releasing them. A flash on the screen confirms that a screenshot has been taken.
After taking a screenshot, a floating toolbar will appear where you can preview and edit the image or save it to your photo gallery app. This simple process can be done quickly and easily on your Galaxy S22.
Another method to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S22 does not require any button presses, but rather a simple gesture with your hand. This feature is called the Palm Swipe to Capture and can be easily enabled in the phone’s settings.
To activate this feature, swipe down once from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon to access the Settings menu. Scroll down to “Advanced Features” and select “Motions and Gestures.” From there, toggle the switch to enable “Palm Swipe to Capture.”
To take a screenshot using this gesture, simply place the side of your open hand (pinky side) on the display and slide it from right to left. The screen will flash, indicating that a screenshot has been taken. You can find the saved screenshot in your Gallery app.
This method is especially useful for those who find it difficult to use physical buttons or want a hands-free way to take screenshots on their Samsung Galaxy S22.
