Use your phone’s buttons

Like Android devices from Samsung, OnePlus, and other manufacturers, you can use the buttons on your Motorola phone to quickly initiate a screenshot. This is the most well-known screenshot method. To do this:

• Briefly hold down the power and volume down keys simultaneously.
• Once the screen flashes, let go of both buttons.

You can also use the phone’s power button to bring up a shortcut.

• Press and hold your phone’s power button. A shortcut dialog will appear.
• Tap the Screenshot icon to capture content on your display.

Use the recent apps shortcut

Motorola places a Screenshot shortcut on some devices when you open the recent items menu. To access it:

• If you’re using gesture navigation, draw a line from the bottom to the middle of the screen with a finger. This will open the recent items menu. Using the three-button navigation method, tap the square recent items menu button.
• Scroll horizontally through the screens. When you find something you wish to screenshot, tap the screenshot button beneath it.
• If the dialog is greyed out, the app will not allow you to capture a screenshot.

If the button method is too laborious, you can also snag screen content using a simple gesture. You may need to enable it first, though. To do this:

• Open your phone’s Settings > Display > Advanced > Three-finger screenshot. Toggle it on.
• Once activated, find the content you wish to capture.
• Swipe down with three fingers from the top of the display to take a screenshot.

Capture long screenshots

Do you want to include more content beyond that displayed on your screen? You can also take a long screenshot on Motorola phones. To do this:

• Take a screenshot using one of the methods above.
• Once the screenshot dialog appears, tap the double down arrow icon below the screenshot preview.
• The phone will now display a “processing” dialog while scrolling the screen to progressively capture it. You can touch Stop to halt the process at any time.

Use a voice assistant

Finally, Google Assistant can also snap screenshots on your behalf if your hands are full. To initiate a screenshot using Google’s voice assistant:

• Find the content you wish to capture.
• Activate Google Assistant by saying Hey Google.
• Then say, Take a screenshot.

FAQs
