If your Samsung tablet does not detect your palm, it will not capture the screenshot. So, that’s another easy way of how to screenshot on a tablet.

When you have completed it you may click Save to save the screenshot in the gallery. Even if you did not write on it you will have to do the same to save it.

So that’s one way how to take screenshots. If you want to view the screenshots that you have captured you may go to the notification panel or gallery.

In case you want to view it immediately after it is taken then you may swipe down the notification panel and then click on the Smart capture notification.

If you want to view it any other time just open the gallery. Click on the Albums and then tap Screenshots and you may easily see all the screenshots.
