If it’s funny sharing conversation between friends or showing them what’s on your smartphone screen, the fastest way to do so is take a screenshot. And just like on any another Android smartphone, you can get this done on the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus too.
Screenshots are convenient and quick. Suppose you have a slow network and want to download an image, it’s easier to just view the image on your browser and take a screenshot from there. The only issue with screenshots is that you’re left with a picture that has the same resolution of your device and not anything higher than that.
How to take a Screenshot on the Moto G5 and G5 Plus
-
- Open the screen you want to capture on your Moto G5.
- Press & hold both the Power and Volume Down buttons together for a couple of seconds.
- If you hear a capture sound and animation on screen, that means screenshot has been taken and saved to your phone’s gallery.
- If you want to access the screenshot quickly, pull down the notification bar and you’ll see the captured screenshot there.

Not working !!! Nothing happen when I press power button and volume down button together
Correct. Nothing is happening! Do you have a solution already?
Erm that does not work??
Edit: Well, Power + Volume down for three seconds should do it.
Which app are you trying this one? Some apps disable it, like Snapchat.
