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

Take a screenshot

  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 .

Take a scrolling screenshot

Important: These steps work on devices running Android 12 and up, on most screens that allow you to scroll.

  1. Open the screen that you want to capture.
  2. Press the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time.
  3. At the bottom, tap Capture more.
  4. To select the content you want to capture, use the crop guidelines.

Find, share & edit your screenshot

Tip: If you don't have the Photos app, you're likely running an older Android version. Open your phone's Gallery app and tap Album view and then Screenshots folder.
