A screenshot or, in other words, a screenshot allows you to capture the displayed image on the screen of your Samsung Galaxy A 50 2022 and other year of release.
With this feature, you can record a graphic or event in the app. You can take a screenshot on Samsung A 50 in several ways.
I suggest 5. Why 5 and not one? Because I suspect, due to some convenience, not everyone will like it.
NOTE
Your Samsung Galaxy A50 phone also has a wonderful ability to take screenshots with your voice. I recommend it - simple, fast, effective. You can surprise your friends - here are the instructions.
For example, the first method will be the most standard, but using it you will need some dexterity of your fingers, while the others will allow you to take a screenshot with just one click. Go.
Method No. 1. Standard key combination for taking a screenshot on Samsung
The first and easiest way to take a screenshot on Samsung A30 and A50 phones is using the “Volume Down” and “Power” keys. Just hold down the two indicated keys at the same time and you will get your screenshot. This combination works on many Android phones, including popular Samsung gadgets.
Press and hold the indicated keys
The resulting images are usually saved in the Screenshots folder, which in turn is located in the DCIM
.
The screenshots you took can be found in the DCIM folder.
You can view the screenshot you took in the Gallery application.

Where to look for a screenshot
Some Samsung Galaxy owners are interested in how to understand that a photo has been taken and where the device saves it. The first one is not difficult to figure out - if the actions were performed correctly, the screen will blink and a photo will appear, it will immediately disappear, but a notification icon will appear in the upper right corner. If further actions with the screenshot occur later, you can ignore the notification, it will disappear on its own, or you can brush it away. If you want to send it to someone or edit it, then just lower the curtain and click on the notification - the standard software for viewing photos will open, where you can choose what you want to do.
It happens that you are going to return to the screen later. In this case, it is not always clear where the image was saved. It is located in a special Screenshot folder. Depending on the Samsung model, its name may be translated into Russian. The folder is not a system folder and is always displayed in the image gallery. If for some reason it is not there (by the way, the folder will not appear until at least one screenshot is taken), then through the file manager you should enter the root directory and look for it - it is not a subdirectory of any folders and is always located at the root of the disk system.
For some versions of Android on Samsung smartphones, screenshots are automatically saved to the connected cloud storage. Typically this is the Google Photos app.
Thank you for your attention! See you again on the pages of articles! Sincerely, Rostislav Kuzmin.
Method No. 2. Palm swipe to take screenshot on Samsung A50 and A30
Samsung A30 and A50 phones support the convenient “Palm Swipe” technology, which allows you to take a screenshot by swiping your palm across the gadget’s screen. To activate it, go to “Settings” - “Additional functions” - “Movements and gestures”, and activate the “Palm screenshot” option.
Activate the option we specified
Now you can take a screenshot of the Samsung A50 and A30 by swiping your palm across the phone screen from left to right. The screenshot you took can be found in the DCIM folder.
Swipe your palm from left to right
How to know that a screenshot has been taken
If an attempt to press the buttons at the same time is unsuccessful, the phone will either be locked or information about changes in the volume level will appear on the screen.
When the picture is captured, the picture will freeze for a while and the desired image will seem to peel off from it. After this, a characteristic icon will appear at the top, in the left corner of the screen. By expanding the drop-down menu, you can view the screenshot or open it in a folder.
Method number 3. Using apps to help you take a screenshot
To create a screenshot on Samsung, we can use external applications.
| Application links: | Description: |
| "Easy screenshot" | A popular program in the settings of which you can choose different ways to take a screenshot. You can take a photo by shaking your smartphone, pressing the camera button or combo buttons, notification icon, widget, and more. |
| "Screenshot touch" | This multifunctional application for Samsung not only allows you to take a photo, but also crop it, draw on it, record video and much more. |
| "Touchmaster" | This application allows you to quickly and conveniently take screenshots using the side buttons. Supports global snapshot gestures and other convenient features. |
The Touchmaster application has many convenient functions.
The functionality of all these applications is quite simple, and understanding it will not pose any problems even for an inexperienced user.
What to do if the photo fails
It happens that it is impossible to take a screenshot of the screen using the methods listed above - a prohibition message appears. This is not uncommon with banking applications or instant messengers. In this case, you can go into the program settings and check whether the resolution for pictures is possible here. If it is not there, then you will not be able to take a screenshot.
However, sometimes the situation can be changed using third-party utilities. The method is not 100% effective, since banking clients for Android have a high level of protection, but you can still try. To do this, go to the Play Market and download applications for creating a screenshot. It’s easy to find the right one – just enter the word “screen” in the search bar. A large list of programs will appear, all you have to do is choose the one that suits you specifically.
Method number 4. English-speaking Assistant for Samsung
If you use the English version of Samsung A30 and A50 smartphones, then the Assistant method can help you take a screenshot. This method is not yet available in the Russian version of Samsung phones.
Do the following:
- Go to “Settings” - “Accessibility” - “Dexterity”;
- Activate the Assistant menu by moving the slider to the right;
- The Assistant menu will appear on the screen. You can move it to any convenient position; Use Assistant functionality to take screenshots
- While on the page where you want to take a screenshot, tap on the assistant menu, and then select “Screenshots”. The photo will be taken.
This is useful to know: how Samsung's Bixby works.
The first way is using buttons
Samsung a50 2022, unlike its older brothers, did not receive a real-life button that you can touch “Home”.
Previously, on all Samsung devices it was possible to take a screenshot with its help - now, apparently, in order to make it less water-permeable, it was replaced with a touchscreen.
As a result of this change, the option to take a screenshot has moved from “Home” to “Lower Volume.”
Therefore, now to take screenshots you need to quickly press and release the “Home” + “Lower Voice” combination.
Is it convenient? For me, no, especially at the beginning. I probably only learned how to do this the tenth time.
I think you won’t like it too much, but nevertheless, we have what we have, and those who want a simpler option, let’s move on.
AZ Screen Recorder
The most convenient application for Android smartphones also works with Samsung products: with its help, the user can not only take screenshots, but also record video from the screen, as well as edit finished pictures.
To make a screen using AZ Screen Recorder, you need:
- Download, install and run the application - five round icons will appear on the left side.
- By going to “Settings” (gear icon), set the display of finger presses, text labels and logo on screenshots.
- Select how the buttons for creating screenshots and recording videos should be presented.
- Tell the app whether to display a toast notification after each new photo.
- Determine where to automatically save pictures.
- In internal memory (recommended) or on an external card.
- Close “Settings” and click on the green button with the camera icon.
- To temporarily hide the screenshot creation panel on Samsung, tap on the slanting cross to the left of the buttons.
- And to turn it back on, use the half-hidden “video camera.”
- When the screenshot is taken, the Samsung owner can close the program by going to “Settings” again and finding the “Exit” option in the side menu.
- Or by tapping on the slanting cross in the notification shade.
The most significant drawback of the mobile application is the inability to set the format of the saved screen (by default it is PNG, which provides excellent quality and takes up little memory space) and its dimensions: the width and height of the image will exactly correspond to the number of pixels on the screen.
Taking a picture using special programs
If you are not satisfied with the standard screenshot functions on Samsung, you should resort to using special applications.
Screen Master
After installation, a settings window will appear in Screen Master, where you can set the parameters as you wish. To obtain an image, you must enable screen capture in the running program.
The application will show the captured area of the future image.
Feature of Screen Master - the software allows you to take a picture and blur individual areas.
Touchshot
One of the functions of the Touchshot program is to take a screenshot. To take a screenshot, just shake your device. It is possible to edit the image.
Screenshot touch
In the Screenshot touch application, a screenshot is taken using a floating button. It is possible to use scrolling if the page does not fit on the screen. To take a photo, you need to shake the gadget. You can change the size of pictures and save them in PNG, JPEG formats.
Attention! It is recommended to take a screenshot using programs if it is not possible to use the unlock and volume down buttons.
