Samsung has thought of multiple methods for this. take a screenshot. Naturally if there is one that is common to all Android smartphones. Also, Samsung has some on its skin, not to mention voice assistants that can provide additional assistance to go faster. We review all the methods in this file.
Galaxy S9 and S9+: screenshot with physical button
The first screenshot method is common to all Android smartphones. Keep pressing the button at the same time. “ON/OFF” button and volume down button about one second. The challenge in implementing this method is to be perfectly synchronized while performing this action. If necessary, it will be enough to retry the manipulation.
- Go to the content you want to capture
- Press and hold the “ON/OFF” and “volume down” buttons simultaneously for one second
Galaxy S9 and S9+: screenshot with a gesture
Samsung offers an alternative method that lacks originality. Swipe from side to side First of all, don’t forget to check that the feature is enabled in the settings:
- Tap on Settings
- Go to Advanced Features
- Touch Palm Scrolling Screenshot
Galaxy S9 and S9+: smart screen capture
Sometimes just capturing what you see on the screen isn’t enough. Catching can be useful sometimes. an entire web page. For this, Samsung has also provided an option that can be accessed by following the instructions of the previous two methods (physical buttons or gestures). You can capture the entire web page by scrolling up or down, selecting “scroll” when the option appears. The smartphone will take multiple shots and automatically paste them together when the process is complete.
- Go to the content you want to capture
- Press and hold the “ON/OFF” and “volume down” buttons at the same time for one second or grab the gesture
- Tap “Scroll” when the option appears at the bottom of the screen
Galaxy S9 and S9+: screenshot with Google Assistant
It’s just Google’s artificial intelligence that takes quick action by saying “OK Google” also allows you to take a screenshot by asking “Take a screenshot”. Real child’s play and only with voice command.
- Go to the content you want to capture
- Say “Ok Google” and then “Take a screenshot”
It is also possible to execute the command via the virtual keyboard. (As one reader noted, this functionality is not currently available, at least in French, Assistant will be able to do so in Molière soon).
Galaxy S9 and S9+: screenshot with smart selection
Smart selection lets you capture only what you want. Samsung offers a rectangular or oval shape for taking screenshots, for example. First make sure the option needs to be enabled. To be sure, go to: Settings > Display > Display > Edge
- Go to the content you want to capture
- Select “Smart Select” from the edge panel
- Select the shape you want to use for the screenshot
- Select the area you want to capture and tap “Done”.
We haven’t added this method to the list yet, as Bixby doesn’t speak French yet. But Samsung’s artificial intelligence can do this in the same way as Google Assistant. Let us know in the comments the method you use most often on your smartphone. Which do you think is the most practical?
