If you have just bought a Huawei phone and don't know how to take a screenshot, the classic stamp, you are in the right place. Phones sometimes have different combinations to do the same things, and maybe on the previous smartphone it was easy to make a copy of the screen. So sit back and read on as I will give you all the information you need to be able to use your new phone perfectly. Also with Huawei, especially in Top of the Range phones, you can print an image simply by knocking on the display after activating the gestures in the system settings.

Although it may seem complicated, in reality the key combination for the screenshot on Huawei is very simple. Just press the Volume Down + Power keys (the classic on / off button). So you just need to open a web page or an image maybe on Pinterest and press those buttons at the same time to make the screen stamp. Once the screenshot is made, a preview will appear as a much smaller notification at the bottom right.
If, on the other hand, you need a screenshot of a document that exceeds the screen size, that's no problem. You will have to take the classic screenshot as I have just explained to you and then step on the "Scroll screen" button (present at the bottom right). In this way you will have the stamp of the entire document. If you have a Huawei phone with a previous version of Emui, just take the screenshot and immediately click on the small image that appears as a notification and then press the "Scroll screen" button. This feature can be useful if for example you have an entire document to save, or even to take a high definition image perhaps Wide. In this way you will not have to take multiple screenshots and merge them, but with a small modification you will have the possibility of having it in a single image.
Alternative method for screenshot
However, there is another method to be able to take a screenshot of an image displayed on the screen and the procedure is very simple. You will need to:
Tap on the "Notification center" of the Android system on your phone.
Swipe from top to bottom.
Tap on the icon called "Screen".
Plug on the pencil-shaped button.
Drag the Screenshot icon into the top box.
Each screenshot taken can be found, if you look for it later, in the album called "Screens" recoverable directly in the Gallery of your Smartphone.
How to take screenshots using Gesture
If your phone is equipped with Knuckle Sense technology, you can take screenshots using the classic gestures prepared on the Huawei smartphone. Usually this technology is present on top of the range phones or new models with this feature and is very useful to use if you want to take quick screenshots. To activate this feature on your phone you will need to:
Go to the Android “Settings” (gear icon).
Tap on the “Smart” item that you will find in the menu.
Tap on the item "Smart Screenshot".
Set the lever to ON where it refers to the screen capture via gesture. This will be used to activate the possibility of making stamps simply by knocking on the display.
Alternatively, on some phones you will need to:
Go to the Android “Settings” (gear icon).
Tap on the item "Intelligent Assistance".
Tap on the item "Motion control".
Tap on the item "Take a screenshot".
Set the toggle to ON next to the “Smart Screen” item.
Once the gesture setting has been set, just tap the display twice to take the screenshot.
How to edit Huawei screenshots
If you are thinking of being able to edit a screenshot after making it, there is the possibility to do it without the need to use external graphics programs and take the time to be able to make corrections to your stamps. Editing a stamp can be very useful if you intend to hide parts of the screen or even to highlight only a part of the whole screen. The procedure for editing is as follows:
Make the stamp using the gesture or with the combination of Volume up + Power buttons.
Once the preview appears, tap the "Edit" button (item located at the bottom).
Edit the screenshot using the editing screen available.
Through this feature you can crop your image thus removing the web address from your image, use only a small part of the screenshot or even the ability to censor sensitive information visible throughout the screen. You can also use some tools that will allow you to work on the freehand image and then, like a graphics program, change its color or add elements to your shot. However, if not satisfied, you can cancel the change simply by tapping on the arrow on the left or use the eraser tool to cancel the changes made.
Once the editing is complete, simply tap on the ✓ icon or on the disk image to save the edited shot. In case you can also share it via the appropriate share button. You can also change the image at a later time, by going to take it from the gallery and then clicking on the "Edit" item.
Screenshot with external apps
If you want some additional tools than the default ones, there are applications that you can download from the Playstore and use them to take screenshots and edit them with additional tools. Below we present some of the most popular and present on the Google store.
