The Google Photos app is not particularly good at showing photos from different folders on your device which complicates things here. While the steps to take a screenshot on the Google Pixel are pretty easy, it’s finding the screenshot in your gallery that is the difficult part.

Tapping on Share allows you to quickly share the screenshot to any application, with the delete option allowing you to…well…delete the screenshot. Once the screenshot is saved, you will get two actionable buttons on the notification: Share and Delete. Expand the notification shade and you will see a ‘Saving screenshot’ notification. You will hear a click sound followed by a screenshot animation. Head over to the app or screen whose screenshot you want to take and press and hold the Volume down button followed by the Power button simultaneously for a few seconds. So, here’s how you take a screenshot on the Google Pixel and Pixel XL.

Since the Pixel is a Google phone, the steps to take a screenshot on the handset will also work on almost every other Android device out there. Recently switched to a Google Pixel after years of using an iPhone? Still getting used to the OS and wondering how to take screenshots? Don’t worry as we have got you covered.
