Taking screenshots, however, remains a simple affair, and the home button's task here is now handled by the volume down key. Also, as on previous devices, there are multiple ways you can take screenshots on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, meaning you aren't restricted to always playing around with the phone's buttons to capture what's on screen.
Here's what you can do to take screenshots on the Galaxy S8 and S8+.
Once you take a screenshot, Samsung allows you to perform various functions, such as sharing or editing the screenshot, instantly. For every screenshot you take, you will see Draw, Crop and Share options at the bottom of the screen, and you will also see an option called “Scroll capture”. If you don't see these options, go into the Settings » Advanced features menu and enable Smart Capture.
What does scroll capture do? Well, it's an ingenious way of capturing more than what you see on screen in a single image. For example, using scroll capture, you can capture an entire webpage, or a long list in some other app. To use scroll capture, here's what you need to do.
All of your screenshots get saved in the Screenshots folder in the Albums tab of the gallery, or show up among your regular camera photos if you're viewing the Pictures tab. To access them via a file manager, go into the internal storage, open the DCIM folder, and then open the Screenshots folder.
