It might be a problem for users having larger phones, but this technique works just fine. You will hear the camera shutter sound and a short flashing animation which will indicate that you are ready to go. You can view the screenshot in the Gallery app or in Google Photos app or in Samsung’s built-in “My Files” browser. In case you need to find a particular screenshot from a command line or through the Android File Transfer, you can find them in /pictures/screenshots.
Method 2: By swiping the screen Samsung has another brilliant feature for taking screenshots. Most people consider it the easier way when compared to the button method.
