Last update: February 4, 2026 by DevicesFAQ.com Editorial Team

One essential feature of modern smartphones is the ability to take screenshots, capturing an image of what is currently displayed on your Samsung Galaxy A21s's screen.

Although there are apps for this function, you don’t need to install any additional ones, as it’s already built into the Android 10, One UI 2.0 operating system.

Taking a screenshot allows you to save a WhatsApp conversation, a Tinder message, an Instagram story, a Facebook photo, or a video frame directly to your Samsung device's memory.

If, on the other hand, you want to record a video of your Samsung Galaxy A21s's screen, such as a video call, a story, a web page, or part of an internet video, you can follow the next tutorial: Record screen on Samsung Galaxy A21s

First method:

If you want to make a screenshot to your Samsung Galaxy A21s you have to follow these simple steps:

Estimated time: 2 minutes.

1- First step:

First, go to the screen that you want to capture a screenshot of on your Samsung Galaxy A21s, whether it's a web page, chat, or application.

2- Second step:

There are two methods: using the Android native method by simultaneously pressing the power key and the volume key down or through Samsung's own system: it consists of sliding the side of the palm of the hand across the screen from the right side to the left (or vice versa) of our Samsung Galaxy A21s to that we see a flash that indicates that the capture has been made. This method may not be available, depending on the version of the software you have.To take the screenshot with this gesture you must first activate it from the settings, go to the settings, click on "Advanced functions" and activate the option "Move palm to capture".

3- Third step:

When taking the screenshot on the Galaxy A21s, a flash will appear on the screen, as if a picture of the screen has been taken. Depending on the version of the installed software and the model or region, a black bar will be displayed at the bottom of the screen from which you can open the screenshot, edit it, share it, or take a long screenshot or scroll screenshot.Otherwise, a silent notification will appear indicating that the screenshot has been taken, you can click on this notification to view it and perform the action you want with it.

4- Fourth step:

The captured image is automatically saved in the gallery of your mobile/cell phone Samsung SM-A217F, SM-A217F/DS, sm-a217m/ds, sm-a217f/dsn.You can find the image gallery on the home screen. It typically has a photo or instant photo icon. Depending on the software version installed, your image gallery application might be Google Photos. If that's the case, look for an icon resembling a four-pointed star made of paper, with each point in a different color.

5- Fifth step:

Open the image gallery, the images and photos will appear sorted by date, click on the capture that you just made on your Galaxy A21s, and you will be able to edit it, trim it or send it to your contacts or through your preferred social network.
