        I still don’t know what they are referencing then cause whatever is going on doesn’t happen for me.

          You click both volume down and power buttons at the same time to take a screenshot, if you happen to click the volume down first the volume slider will show up

            Maybe this is launcher specific, but on Pixel phones, when pulling up the list of apps to switch to, there’s a screenshot button, which is way easier and can be done with one hand.

              I thought all andoird phones had the ability now to three finger swipe to take a screenshot. That’s what I use.

            No no no first you click volume up and power. Then you press down and power so you can take a screenshot of your volume level.

            Not to mention both buttons are on the same side on Pixels. This means I have to do this awkward gesture where I wrap my left hand around the back to press the power button, then press the volume button with my right hand.

            On iPhone, I pinched.

            To say Android is objectively better than iPhone is a huge stretch. Maybe in the old days when phones still had rear fingerprint scanners.

        Hold your hand like you’re going to karate chop your phone. But start from the very left, then jedi wave across the screen. You do have to touch slightly the screen
