See how easy it is to take a screenshot on Galaxy S6. You will also see the smaller version of the screenshot in the notification panel if you do not clear it.
Take Screenshots On Galaxy S6 By Swiping The Screen
This is another easy way of taking screenshots on Galaxy S6, and it just requires the screen swiping action. This method is arguably more straightforward than the previous method. Follow the quick steps, as mentioned below:
- Open the page or the image in which you want to take a shot.
- Put your hand on the screen so that your thumb is facing away from the screen.
- Swipe your hand from left to right or vice versa to capture the screenshot. You will hear the camera shutter sound along with the animation flash, which means that the screenshot is captured.
The feature is automatically enabled in your phone and sometimes creates problems while doing some important work.
So, to disable this feature follow these quick and simple steps:
- Go to the “Settings” app from the home screen or the notification panel.
- Scroll down until you see the “Motion” option. Under the motion, choose the option “Motions and gestures.”
- Here you need to click on the “Palm swipe to capture” option.
- Hit the “Toggle button” from blue to grey, to turn off this setting.
Take A Screenshot On Galaxy S6 Using The Assistant Menu
This is again the new method that Samsung offers for/with new smartphones for taking screenshots. The assistant menu will always be with you on the screen when it is activated.
To activate the assistant menu, you need to follow the below instructions:
“Go to the Settings menu > Accessibility > Dexterity and interaction > Assistant menu.”
That’s all. Now all you need to do is just enable the assistance tool, and it will always appear on your screen. You need to tap the “icon” and choose the “screenshot” option. The screenshot will automatically be taken and saved into the gallery.
