How to take a screenshot (Android)

You can take a picture (screenshot) of your phone's screen. After you capture your screen, you can view, edit, and share this image.

Important: Some of these steps work only on Android 11 and up. Learn how to check your Android version.

1. Open the screen that you want to capture.
2. Depending on your phone:
   • Press the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time.
   • If that doesn’t work, press and hold the Power button for a few seconds. Then tap Screenshot.
   • If neither of these work, go to your phone manufacturer’s support site for help.
3. At the bottom left, you’ll find a preview of your screenshot. On some phones, at the top of the screen, you'll find Screenshot capture.
