How to Screenshoot on a Samsung Galaxy S10/S10 Plus. Taking screenshots is more than a reckless way to subtweet someone or steal a Twitter joke for Reddit; screenshot is also important for capturing confirmation numbers after ordering something, documenting appointments made in customer support chats, or proving threat messages sent and then deleted. You should know how to bring it to your new shiny Galaxy S10, and we are here to show you all the ways to do it.
Here are all the ways you can capture screenshots on the Galaxy S10
For most phones, taking screenshots is limited to simple and only combo buttons, but this is Samsung, and Samsung believes in having a number of ways to do it all and let you use which one you like the most.

Bixby’s voice
Screenshot of combo button
“Original” or at least the most normal way to screenshot your mobile is to use a key combination, which currently matches the same combination as most other Android phones.
1. Open the application or website that you want to capture.
2. Press and hold the power button and volume down button for about 2 seconds, until you see a blinking screen. The screen image will shrink slightly before returning to normal because the screenshot control appears near the bottom of the screen.
From this screenshot’s control strip, you have several optional tools:
– To open the image that was just taken, tap the preview bubble on the left side of the strip.
– To start scrolling to take it further down the webpage or application menu, tap the down arrow.
– To crop the image taken, tap the cut icon (it looks like the corners are overlapping to form a box).
– To draw above or annotate your screenshot, tap the pencil icon.
– To share your new image, tap the Share icon (three interconnected points) to the right side of the strip.
This tool strip disappears after a few seconds, but you can still access screenshots of the notification shadows, because notifications are generated by successful screen captures or by opening a gallery application such as Gallery or Google Photos.
Palm swipe to catch
Samsung offers a screen gesture between a large number of gestures and button controls when tapping for the Galaxy S10, but let’s make sure it’s turned on before we try to use it.
1. Open the Settings application.
2. Scroll down and tap Advanced features.
3. Tap Moves and movements.
4. If it is not written Below the Palm swipe to capture, tap the toggle switch to the right of the Palm swipe to catch.
5. Tap Palm swipe to capture to open annotation and gif demonstrative feature.
Now it’s activated, let’s try it! For the record, Palm Swipe to capture does not work when the keyboard is activated.
1. Open the application or website that you want to capture.
2. Place the side of your palm on the edge of the screen.
in one liquid motion, swipe the side of your palm in front of the cellphone.
The screen image will shrink slightly before returning to normal because screenshot controls appear near the bottom of the screen, as they do with traditional screen-triggered screenshots.
Scrolling capture
One of the five options available on the screenshot menu is Scrolling capture, which allows you to scroll down and keep the capture as a super-high image instead of a separate section. Scrolling capture only functions to scroll from top to bottom, so keep that in mind when you try to use it.
1. Open the application or website that you want to capture and make sure you are at the top of the page.
2. Use the combo button or palm movement to take a screenshot.
3. Tap the Scroll capture icon (it looks like two down arrows) on the screenshot tool strip.
4. Repeat step 3 as needed to continue to scroll down and add to the screenshot.
After you scroll as far as you want – or down – all you need to do is tap outside the screenshot tool strip. An expanded screenshot will save you for sending emails or tweets then in very high glory.
Bixby’s voice
Like many other things, you can use Bixby Voice to take screenshots, which is useful if you don’t have free hands using the palm or button movement method.
1. Open the application or website that you want to capture.
2. Press and hold the Bixby button or say “Hey Bixby” if the word wake has been trained.
3. Say “Take a screenshot”.
The screen will flash and a screenshot of the tool strip will appear, as well as for screen shots triggered by friction and buttons.
That was the How to Screenshot tutorial on the Samsung Galaxy S10 / S10 Plus.
