How to Take a Screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy S24

Knowing how to take a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S24 can save time and help you capture important moments or information on your screen. Whether you’re using physical buttons, gestures, or voice commands, this guide will cover all the methods step-by-step.

1. Using the Buttons to Take a Screenshot

The fastest and most common way to capture your screen is by using the physical buttons. Here’s how:

• Navigate to the screen you want to capture.
• Press the Volume Down and Side (Power) buttons at the same time.
• You’ll see the screen briefly flash or hear a shutter sound, confirming the screenshot.

The screenshot is saved in the Gallery app under the Screenshots album. This method is reliable and works for almost any screen.

2. Palm Swipe Gesture for Screenshots

Samsung offers a cool gesture to capture screenshots without using buttons. To use this feature:

1. First, enable the palm swipe option:
   • Go to Settings > Advanced features > Motions and gestures.
   • Toggle on Palm swipe to capture.
2. To capture a screenshot:
   • Place the edge of your hand on one side of the screen.
   • Swipe your hand horizontally across the screen.

When done correctly, you’ll hear a shutter sound or see the screen flash. This gesture is perfect for one-handed use.

3. Voice Commands via Bixby

Want a hands-free way to take a screenshot? Use Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant:

• Navigate to the content you want to capture.
• Activate Bixby by saying, “Hi, Bixby,” or holding the Side button.
• Say, “Take a screenshot.”

Bixby will take the screenshot and save it automatically. This method is great if you’re multitasking or can’t physically press buttons.

4. Using the S Pen for Screenshots (Galaxy S24 Ultra Only)

If you own the Galaxy S24 Ultra, you can use the S Pen to capture and annotate screenshots:

1. Remove the S Pen to open the Air Command menu.
2. Select Screen write. This will capture the screen and open an editing interface.
3. Annotate the screenshot if needed, then tap Save.

The S Pen is ideal for capturing specific parts of the screen or adding quick notes.

5. Capturing Scrolling Screenshots

Need to capture a long webpage or conversation? Scrolling screenshots let you do just that:

• Start by taking a regular screenshot using any method above.
• When the screenshot toolbar appears, tap the Scroll capture icon (two downward arrows).
• Keep tapping the icon to capture more of the page until you’ve got everything.

The final result is a single image containing all the captured content. This feature is especially useful for saving articles, chats, or detailed instructions.
