How to take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4’s screen may be very unique, but ultimately it’s just a typical display when folded open. This means you can take a screenshot on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 devices just as you would with any other Android phone. Samsung has provided multiple ways to do this, and today we’re here to tell you all about them.

Take a screenshot using the physical buttons

This method works on nearly any modern Android phone. Similarly, you can take a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 using the hardware keys.

1. Navigate to the page you want to take a screenshot of.
2. Press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. Remember not to hold the buttons for long, as this will trigger the power options. A quick press will suffice.
3. Your phone will take a screenshot!

Palm swipe

Samsung phones have a neat gesture for taking screenshots without fumbling around looking for hardware buttons to press. Palm swipe allows you to drag your palm’s edge across the screen to take a screenshot. You’ll have to enable the feature first, though.

How to enable Palm swipe:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go into Advanced features.
3. Select Motions and gestures.
4. Toggle Palm swipe to capture.

How to take a screenshot using Palm swipe:

1. Once the feature is enabled, navigate to the page you want to capture.
2. Swipe the edge of your palm across the screen to capture a screenshot.
3. Done!

Assistant menu

The Assistant menu is for those who like one-handed use or would prefer a simple window to access great tools. This menu includes “hardkeys, gestures, and other common interactions.” Of course, you’ll have to enable it first.

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go into Accessibility.
3. Hit Interaction and dexterity.
4. Toggle Assistant menu on.
5. Select Allow.
6. This will pull up a floating button. Tap on it and select Screenshots.
7. Your phone will take a screenshot of what the screen is showing.

Use Bixby or Google Assistant

Whether you prefer using Bixby or Google Assistant as your digital assistant, both can take screenshots of your screen using simple voice commands.

If you’re using Bixby:

1. Navigate to the page you want to capture.
2. To wake the assistant, press and hold the Side button or say, “Hi, Bixby.”
3. Say, “Take a screenshot.”

If you’re using Google Assistant:

1. Navigate to the page you want to capture.
2. To wake the assistant say, “OK, Google.”
3. Say, “Take a screenshot.”

Scroll Capture

Scroll Capture is great for apps or websites that have more content than the screen can show at once.

1. Navigate to the page you want to capture.
2. Take a screenshot.
3. When the screenshot toolbar shows up, tap the Scroll Capture button.
4. Tap on the screen when you want the feature to stop scrolling.

Where are my screenshots stored?

Your screenshots will be stored as an image in your files. The most universal way to find them is through the Gallery app, which all Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 devices have pre-installed.

1. Open the Gallery app.
2. Go into Albums.
3. Select Screenshots.
4. Your images should be there.

Use a third-party screenshot app

Aside from Google’s and Samsung’s screenshot methods, you can also use a wide variety of third-party applications available from the Google Play Store. Take a look at our list of the best screenshot apps for some great alternatives.
