Sometimes it consumes time to press two buttons and specially during playing a video, you may miss perfect time to take a screenshot.
In such a case you may like to use this new method to use gesture control. Don’t worry it is not that difficult at all.
Simple use your three fingers and swipe them down across screen to generate a screenshot.
Of-course remember that before using this new technique, you need to activate the 3 finger swipe option.
Step-by-Step method to activate and use 3 finger swipe method:
1) Go to the Settings >> In the search bar, type ‘screenshot’ >>Tap on the option ‘Take a screenshot’ >> Under the head ‘Optional Gestures and Button’, select ‘Slide 3 fingers down’. And you are ready to take screenshot.
