Screenshot using Gestures

Using gestures to capture screenshots is another easy method that can be used in the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 comes with Palm gesture support by default, but you can also change it to other gestures for screenshots. This method is helpful if you want to take screenshot on Galaxy Z Flip 4 without the power button or volume button. Here’s how to use gestures.

  6. The screenshot will be captured as soon as you apply the gesture.

Now, this was the default gesture that Samsung has included in the Galaxy Z Flip 4. If you want to change the gesture to say three finger swipe down then you can use a third party app to assign the new gesture. But make sure that the gesture does not conflict with the system default gesture. Now let’s move on to the next method.

Screenshot using Assistant menu

Samsung Galaxy including the new Galaxy Z Flip 4 come with the assistant menu. It is like the assistive touch feature on iPhone. This menu saves a lot of users time as a single button contains various control options including screenshots. So if you want to screenshot on Galaxy Z Flip 4 with just two taps then this method is for you.

  1. To enable the Assistant menu, first open Settings on your Galaxy.
  2. Now go to Accessibility > Interaction and Dexterity > Assistant Menu.

How to Take Scrolling Screenshot on Galaxy Z Flip 4 (Long Screenshot)

Taking a long screenshot is different from a normal screenshot. It is also known as scrolling screenshot. It captures the entire page including the content that doesn’t fit the screen. Long screenshots are helpful if you want to capture an entire web page, long menu items, a bunch of orders, search results, and more. Scrolling Screenshots is like merging multiple screenshots into one. So if you don’t want to take a lot of screenshots and want to save time and space, you can follow this method.

Not all pages support scrolling screenshots. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 recognizes supported pages and gives the option to take long screenshots or continuous screenshots.

  1. Go to the page that you want to capture.
  2. Now take a screenshot using any of the methods mentioned above.
  3. As soon as you take a screenshot, the screenshot will appear at the bottom with some tools.
  4. If there are four tools including an icon with two drop down, then you can take long screenshot of that page.
  5. Tap the icon (scrolling screenshot) and the screenshot will extend. You can tap the icon multiple times until it covers all the page data you want to capture.
