  • 4 Easy Ways to Take a Screenshot on Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra

    Captured a high score in a game, a funny meme, or an important document? Taking a screenshot on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is simple once you know the shortcuts. In this guide, we’ll walk you through four different methods, plus a bonus tip on how to capture long scrolling pages.

    Watch the Step-by-Step Video:

    Method 1: Using the Quick Settings Panel

    This is the best method if you want a clean, software-based capture without fumbling for buttons.

    • Step: Swipe down from the top-right of your screen to open the full Quick Settings.
    • Step: Tap the “Take Screenshot” icon.
    • Pro Tip: If the icon is missing, tap the Pencil icon (top of the panel) > Add Control, and drag the “Take Screenshot” toggle into your active panel for easy access.

    Method 2: Using the Edge Panel (One-Handed)

    The Edge Panel is perfect for those who find the Ultra a bit large for two-handed button presses.

    1. Pull out the Edge handle from the side of your screen.
    2. Navigate to the Tasks page and tap “Take Screenshot.”
    3. Setup: If you don’t see the Tasks page, tap the Settings (gear) icon at the bottom of the Edge panel and ensure “Tasks” is checked.

    Method 3: The Palm Swipe Gesture

    Samsung’s signature gesture is still here and works beautifully on the S26 series.

    • How-to: Swipe the edge of your palm across the screen from left to right (or vice versa).
    • Important: Make sure your hand is slightly touching the glass as you swipe.

    Method 4: Hardware Buttons

    The classic way that works on almost every Android phone.

    • The Combo: Quickly press the Power Button and Volume Down button at the same time.
    • Note: Do not hold them down; a quick, simultaneous click is all you need.

    Bonus: How to Take a Scroll (Long) Screenshot

    Need to capture an entire webpage or a long chat thread?

    1. Take a regular screenshot using any method above.
    2. Tap the “Scroll Capture” (double down arrows) icon in the toolbar that appears at the bottom.
    3. Keep tapping the icon until you’ve reached the bottom of the page.

    Where are my screenshots saved?

    All your captures are automatically organized. To find them:

    • Open the Gallery app.
    • Go to Albums.
    • Look for the folder named “Screenshots.”

  • How to Turn Off or Restart Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (3 Easy Ways)

    Confused about how to turn off your new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra? You aren’t alone. By default, pressing and holding the side button triggers the Gemini digital assistant instead of the power menu. Whether you want to restart your device or completely shut it down, here are the three fastest ways to do it.

    Watch the Video Guide:

    Method 1: The Button Combination (Quickest Way)

    The most common way to access the power menu is by using the physical hardware buttons.

    • Simultaneously press and hold the Volume Down button and the Side (Power) Button for about one second.
    • The power menu will appear on your screen. Tap Power Off or Restart.

    Method 2: Use the Quick Settings Panel

    If you prefer not to use physical buttons, you can use the software shortcut.

    1. Swipe down from the top-right corner of your screen to open the Quick Panel.
    2. Locate the Power Icon at the top right (near the Settings gear).
    3. Tap the icon to bring up the power options.

    Method 3: Remap the Side Key (Permanent Fix)

    If you want the side button to act like a traditional power button again, follow these steps to remap it:

    1. Swipe down the Quick Panel and tap the Power Icon.
    2. Select Side button settings at the bottom.
    3. Under the “Press and hold” section, change the selection from “Digital Assistant” (Gemini) to “Power off menu.”

    Now, whenever you long-press the side key, your Galaxy S26 Ultra will show the power menu directly!
