How to take a screenshot on a Lenovo tablet? This is the question most often heard from the owners of Lenovo devices. In fact, there is nothing difficult in this task. There are several very simple and at the same time effective ways that allow you to take a screenshot in just a few seconds. But what are these methods and how to use them - let's talk about this in more detail.
Universal way
The easiest and most versatile way to take a screenshot on a Lenovo tablet is to use a keyboard shortcut. This method is suitable for absolutely any device, it doesn’t matter if it’s a tablet or just a smartphone. All you need to do is hold down the volume button and the power / lock key. You must press them at the same time, otherwise nothing will come of it. In general, a little practice - and everything will turn out.
A successful signal that a screenshot has been taken will be the characteristic sound with which pictures are taken through the camera. The finished screenshot will be saved in the device's gallery.
Screenshot through the "curtain"
The second way to take a screenshot on a Lenovo tablet is to use the status bar. For those who don't know, the status bar is a drop-down menu that appears on the screen if you swipe down from the top of the screen or vice versa, it all depends on the tablet model. Also, the status bar is often called the quick access bar.
So, in order to take a screenshot, you need to "pull out" the status bar and among the icons located there, find the one that is signed as Screenshot or "Screenshot". As a rule, scissors or a frame are depicted on it, so it will be difficult to make a mistake. All that remains to be done is to click on the icon, and the picture will be taken automatically, after which it will immediately be saved to the gallery.
If suddenly there is no "Screenshot" icon in the quick access panel, then it may not be displayed, and it must be turned on. To do this, go to the settings and find the item there that is responsible for the status bar. Once in this section there will be a list of available "quick tools", among which is the "Screenshot".
Additional menu
The third way to take a screenshot on a Lenovo tablet is to use the additional menu. It should be said right away that, depending on the firmware version, this method maymay not work on all devices.
Here's what to do:
- Press the on / lock button and do not release until the menu for turning off the device appears.
- If the firmware is not the most “old”, then this menu will contain the “Screenshot” item. It is usually located at the bottom of the list.
- The last thing to do is to click on the appropriate button. A screenshot will be taken and automatically saved to the phone's gallery.
That, in general, and all. Next!
Quick gestures
Another very interesting and effective way to take a screenshot on a Lenovo tablet is to use special quick gestures. As in the case of the previous method, gestures do not work on all tablets, but only on more modern ones, with an operating system not lower than Android 5.0.
So, in order to use quick gestures, you first need to activate them. Make it simple. First you need to go to the device settings and find the “Actions” item there. It can be in the form of a separate submenu or located in the "Accessibility" section. Next, go to this item and, according to the instructions on the tablet, set up the desired gesture, with which a screen will be taken from the screen on the Lenovo tablet.
After all the settings are done, you can safely start using the quick gesture and take as many pictures as your heart desires. All screenshots alsowill be saved to the gallery, in a separate folder.
The only disadvantage of this method is that the gesture can be made involuntarily, which will result in random screenshots.
Third Party Applications
And the last way to take a screenshot on a Lenovo tablet is third-party applications. There are quite a lot of different programs in the app store that are designed for one task - to take screenshots. The most popular apps are Screenshot Easy, Screenshot, Screenshot touch, Lightshot, Mobizen, etc.
All these programs are distributed completely free of charge, have a simple and intuitive interface, and also have different functionality. Some apps just take screenshots, while others let you edit screenshots right away, add annotations, text, stickers, and more.
That, in fact, is all about screenshots on Lenovo tablets.
