Taking a screenshot on Android 11 and newer works mostly in the same way as any older version of the OS, but one option has been moved. Beyond holding down the physical Power and Volume Down buttons together, the on-screen screenshot shortcut that used to appear in the Power menu has been moved to the “Overview” menu (aka Recent Apps). To access the shortcut, swipe up from the bottom of the screen, and pause to open the Overview menu.

Tap the “Screenshot” button in the bottom-left corner.

This will immediately take a screenshot and bring up a preview thumbnail of the screenshot with options to “Share” and “Edit” the image.

When you take a screenshot in Android 11 and newer, it’s displayed in a thumbnail in the bottom-left corner along with options to “Share” and “Edit” the image. After a few seconds, the thumbnail disappears.

Here’s where people may get a little confused. Screenshots no longer appear in the notification shade. That means if you don’t take action on the thumbnail pop-up before it disappears, you’ll have to find the screenshot in your photo gallery or file manager.

Screenshots are typically saved to the “Screenshots” folder on your device. For example, to find your images in the Google Photos app, navigate to the “Library” tab.

Under the “Photos on Device” section, you’ll see the “Screenshots” folder.

Whichever photo gallery or file manager app you use, look for “Screenshots” in the device’s root storage section.
