How to take a screenshot on android

Screenshots are an important part of Mobile operating systems. Sharing important notes, documents, images for various use case scenarios. You are well aware that you can take a picture (screenshot) phone's screen. 

After you capture your screen, you can view, edit, and share the image. Android Natively supports the screenshot feature with the traditional button combination of Pressing the Power and Volume down buttons at the same time. But with different OEMs and devices, there is also some secondary method to do the very same. These are basically more convenient and faster to do. 

For example On pixel devices and many phones with pure Android, there is a shortcut to swipe up and screenshot from the recent menu. On OEMs like Xiaomi, OnePlus there are options for Swiping with three fingers across the screen or swiping from the edge of the screen for a screenshot. 

Adding to that many OEMs provide the customised option to enable a hotkey or gesture for taking a screenshot say swipe with two fingers, swipe left with two fingers, double-tap the home button and many more. Some also provide the option to take a screenshot by tapping on the screenshot button by long-pressing the power button.
