How to take a screenshot on a Samsung tablet

1. Go to the screen page you wish to screenshot. This could be anything from images to apps or text messages.

2. Press the power button and volume down button simultaneously on the right side of your Samsung tablet.

If you do this correctly, the tablet screen should flash, indicating that you’ve successfully captured the content on its screen.

There are various other methods for capturing a Samsung tablet screen, but this one method works on all versions.

There are two ways to access and view your captured screenshot:

The first is through the quick Notification panel. Swipe down your Samsung tablet’s screen from the top, and you’ll see the image as “Smart capture notification.”

The second way to view your screenshot is through the Gallery app. From your home screen, open the Gallery app >> select Albums >> Screenshots. From here, you can share your screenshot to friends or post it on social media by tapping on SHARE, and then choose from one of the sharing options.
