Galaxy S8 - How to take a screenshot

[GamerCore]

Taking a screenshot Galaxy S8 and sharing it to other apps or contacts is really easy. It's actually different from previous generations, so here's how you do it:

1. Press and hold the power button and volume down button simultaneously.
2. Wait until you see the screenshot animation

For a brief moment after taking a screenshot, you'll have the following options:

• Scroll capture - Take a scrolling screenshot of a webpage/app
• Draw - Doodle over your screenshot then crop, share, or save (you'll need to give Screen write permission to access photos, media, and files on your device)
• Crop - Crop your screenshot then save then draw, share, or save
• Share - Immediately share your screenshot to another app, or by creating a link via Link Sharing.

If sharing through Link Sharing, you'll have to confirm you want to share your contacts' information with Samsung. Link Sharing is temporary and links expire after 24 hours.

Palm swipe to capture

Of course, Samsung still includes their unique Palm swipe to capture feature. This allows you to take a screenshot by swiping your hand across the display. You'll find it inside Settings > Advanced features > Palm swipe to capture > ON.

Some good stuff to know because I do screenshots often and share.

The features are the same as on an s7/edge, its nougat after all, but does it not have the screen swipe to capture option anymore?
