Thanks to Knuckle screenshot, also known as Smart Screenshot feature, you can take a screenshot on Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro by knocking twice on the screen. This method is extremely useful and you can take a screenshot using one hand only.

However, to take a screenshot using this method, you first need to enable Knuckle Screenshot in the settings. Here are the steps to activate Knuckle or Smart screenshot feature:

  1. Go into the Settings and tap Smart assistance.
  2. Under Smart Assistant, tap Motion control and then enable Smart screenshot.
  3. Go back, open the screen that you want to capture and knock twice on the screen using your knuckle.
  4. You will see an animation indicating that the screenshot has been captured.

If knuckle screenshot is not your cup of tea, you can also take a screenshot using voice also, all thanks to the Google Assistant. However, this method doesn’t save the screenshot in the gallery and is useful only for sharing screenshots. All you have to do is open the screen that you want to capture and say, “Okay Google, take a screenshot”. Boom! The assistant will take a screenshot of the current screen and give you options to edit or share the screenshot you just took.
