How to Take a Screenshot on Galaxy S24 Series
Since the Galaxy S24 lineup is your usual slab-type phone, you do not have to wrestle too much when compared to foldable and flip-type devices. There are numerous methods as I have stated earlier, so pick the method that rocks your boat.
Good Old Button Combination
One of the oldest as well as most used methods for taking screenshots on your Android smartphone is by using the two-button combination. If you are someone switching from an iPhone to the new Galaxy S24 lineup, these steps are for you.
- Head over to the screen that you want to capture in the screenshot.
- Simply press the Volume Down and Power buttons together.
- A screenshot animation will now take place. This will indicate that the screenshot has been captured.
- With the image captured, you will see several additional tools that you can use to perform different actions.
Take Screenshots Using Palm Gesture
If the button combination is not something you like and want a fancier way to take screenshots, you can use your palm to do the task. Known as the Palm gesture, all you do is simply use the edge of your palm and swipe across the screen to capture a screenshot. But, before you do that, you will need to enable this feature. Here are the steps.
- Launch the Settings app on your Galaxy S24.
- Scroll till you find the Advanced Features option. Tap on it.
- Now, tap on Motion and Gestures.
- Here simply switch the toggle to On to where it says Palm Swipe to capture.
You can now simply swipe the edge of your palm across the screen to capture a screenshot.
Ask Bixby To Take The Screenshot
Samsung’s smart assistant Bixby can do a lot of things when you give it voice commands. But, did you know that you can also ask Bixby to take screenshots for you? Well, check these steps out.
- Press and hold the power button on the right side of the S24 device.
- You will see the blue Bixby blob at the bottom of your screen.
- All you need to do is speak the following command/ “ Hi Bixby, take a screenshot”

Wasn’t that simple and easy? Taking screenshots with your voice is one of the easiest ways to capture screenshots on your Galaxy S24.
Ask Google Assistant To Take A Screenshot
Google has a voice assistant that you can ask to perform various kinds of actions by giving it voice commands. If you prefer Google Assistant over Bixby, this guide is for you. Did you know that if you have Google Assistant installed on your S24, you can ask it to take screenshots? Here is how you can do that.

- The Google Assistant popup will appear at the bottom of the screen.
