Question from Elisa M.: Hi Rick. I just ditched my old phone that I’ve had for years and bought a new Samsung Galaxy S5. I like taking screenshots with my phone from time to time, but I can’t figure out how to do it with this one.
Can you tell this dummy how to take a screenshot with a Galaxy S5? LOL – and thanks!
Rick’s answer: You’re not a dummy Elisa. If you don’t know how to do something, you don’t know how to do it. That’s why every day offers new opportunities to learn. And believe me, I learn something new every day!
To answer your question, it’s pretty easy to capture a screenshot on the S5 once you know how. Here are the steps:
1 – Get the screen exactly the way you want it to appear in the screenshot.
2 – Press the Power button and the Home button simultaneously. You should hear the camera’s “shutter” sound which lets you know that the screenshot has been taken.
3 – Look for the screenshot in your phone’s gallery.
That’s all there is to it Elisa. Good luck!
