It’s an essential feature for new tablets and phones to have the ability to take screenshots or capture an image of what is currently displayed on the screen of your Samsung Galaxy Tab A8.
So here’s a step-by-step guide:
How To Take A Screenshot On The Samsung Galaxy Tab A8
You can take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 in both landscape and portrait modes. All you need to do is press the Power + Volume Down buttons together. As soon as you do so, you’ll notice your entire screen blinking for a hot second, with a Shutter sound emanating right after(if the sound is enabled)
After you take a screenshot, you’ll notice a toolbar on the bottom right with three options. From left to right, they are:
- Vertical Screenshot
- Edit Image
- Share
The screenshot will automatically be saved to your gallery if you do not tap on any of these options. If you want to head to your screenshot quickly and don’t feel like opening in the gallery, you can swipe your fingers vertically downwards to open up the Notification Center.
Once you head to the Notification Center, you’ll be able to open up the image by tapping on it, which will lead you straight to your gallery.
