Taking a screenshot on your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra allows you to capture exactly what is displayed on your screen at any moment. There are primarily two common methods to do this.
You can take a screenshot on your Samsung S24 Ultra using physical buttons or with a simple palm swipe gesture across the screen.
Methods for Capturing Your Screen
The Samsung S24 Ultra offers convenient ways to snap a screenshot, ensuring you can save information or moments from your display quickly.
Method 1: Using Physical Buttons
This is a standard method used across many Android devices, including the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
- Step 1: Navigate to the screen you wish to capture.
- Step 2: Simultaneously press and quickly release the Power key (Side key) and the Volume Down key.
- Step 3: The screen will flash briefly, and you will see a notification or a toolbar at the bottom indicating the screenshot was taken.
Be careful not to hold the buttons for too long, as this might bring up the power menu or adjust the volume excessively.
Method 2: Using Palm Swipe to Capture
The Samsung S24 Ultra also supports an intuitive gesture for taking screenshots, as mentioned in the provided reference. This can be enabled in the phone's settings.
- Step 1: Go to the screen you want to capture.
- Step 2: As highlighted in the reference, "You can simply swipe. This out of your hand across the screen and use Palm side to capture."
- Step 3: Lay the side of your hand (from the pinky finger side) vertically on one edge of the screen.
- Step 4: Swiftly swipe the edge of your hand across the entire width of the screen from one side to the other.
- Step 5: The screen will flash, confirming the screenshot has been taken.
This method is often described as an "easier way to take a screenshot" once you are comfortable with the gesture. If this feature doesn't work, ensure it is enabled in your phone's Settings under Advanced Features > Motions and gestures > Palm swipe to capture.
After Taking a Screenshot
Once a screenshot is captured using either method, a toolbar usually appears at the bottom of the screen. This toolbar typically offers quick options to:
- Edit: Crop, draw on, or annotate the screenshot.
- Share: Send the screenshot via messaging apps, email, social media, etc.
- Scroll Capture: If available for the current screen, this option allows you to capture content that extends beyond the visible screen area (like a long webpage).
All taken screenshots are saved in your Gallery app, usually within a dedicated "Screenshots" album.
