For Android and Samsung

For these devices you will also need to press the Power and Home buttons at the same time, however the power button may be located differently depending on your phone. For Most Android and Samsung devices the Power button is located on the righthand side of the phone. Regardless of where the Power button is located the principle is the same and once the screenshot has been taken it will appear in your gallery. 090316 screenshot samsung
