How to Take a Screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S9

You need to know how to do this.

It's one of the simplest features of a smartphone: capturing a screenshot. The basic function can be found on any phone out there, but each company does things slightly different and adds extras to make the screenshot process more powerful and useful. Samsung goes above and beyond on the Galaxy S9 and S9+ to give you multiple ways to capture a screenshot, plus extra tools to capture scrolling lists and make quick edits after capture.

Here are all the ways you can capture, edit and share screenshots on the Galaxy S9.

Button combo screenshot

This is the simplest way to capture a screenshot, and one that the most people will be familiar with.

  1. Open the content on the screen you want to capture.
  2. Press and hold the volume down button and power button for about 2 seconds.
    • You'll see the screen shrink in, and editing options will appear briefly on the screen.
  3. If you want to edit the screenshot right after it's captured, you can tap the bottom options to draw, crop or share it immediately.
  4. If you miss those buttons, the screenshot will also be saved in the notification shade, where you can expand and tap the options to edit, share or delete it.
  5. If you dismiss notifications, the screenshot can also still be found in Gallery or any other app you may use to manage photos, like Google Photos.

Palm swipe screenshot

Samsung also offers a secondary method for getting to the same exact screen shot options, using the edge of your hand to swipe across and activate the process.

  1. Go to Settings, Advanced features and make sure that "Palm swipe to capture" is turned on.
  2. Open the content on the screen you want to capture.
  3. Place the side of the palm of your hand on the edge of the screen, and in one motion swipe it across the face of the phone.
  4. The screenshot will be captured in the same way as above, with the same editing and sharing options at the bottom of the screen.

Scrolling capture

Whether you initiate a screenshot with the button combination or palm swipe, you'll sometimes notice an extra option in that bottom edit bar: "scroll capture." This option lets you automatically scroll (in apps that vertically scroll) and stitch together several screenshots into one super-tall screenshot.

  1. Open the content on the screen you want to capture.
    • Whatever app you have open must be able to vertically scroll — remember to start this process at the top of what you want to screenshot, since the scroll only goes downward.
  2. Use the button combo or palm swipe to initiate screenshot.
  3. Tap scroll capture at the bottom of the screenshot edit menu.
  4. Continue to tap scroll capture until you've covered everything in the app that you wish to capture.
  5. The extra-tall scrolling screenshot will save in the exact same way as any other — you can now edit, crop and share it.

Bixby Voice

Bixby Voice can actually be useful for taking a screenshot if you're unable to grab the phone to do the button combination or swipe gesture.

  1. Open the content on the screen you want to capture.
  2. Press and hold the Bixby Button, or if you've configured it, say "Hey Bixby."
  3. With the interface activated, say "take a screenshot."
  4. The screenshot will automatically be saved to the Gallery, where you can then view, edit and share it.
    • Note that with the Bixby method, you miss out on the instant edit capabilities of the other methods. You can, however, string together commands to for example "take a screenshot and share it to Twitter" if you want to get elaborate.

Update July 2018: There are a few ways to take screenshots, and we have them simply broken down here.
