If you want to take a screenshot on your Android phone, there are a few different ways to go about it. The first is to use the built-in screenshot function. To do this, just press and hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until the phone goes into screenshot mode. Then, release both buttons and select the area you want to capture. Another way to take a screenshot is by using the volume down button and power button together. Just hold down both buttons until the phone goes into screenshot mode, then release them and select the area you want to capture. If you don’t have access to either of those methods, there are other ways to take a screenshot as well. You can use an app like Snipping Tool or Camera FV-5 which will allow you more control over how your screenshots look. ..
The app we recommend is Tap, Tap. It’s not available in the Google Play Store, but you can easily sideload it on any Android 7.0 or later device. Before we proceed, follow our guide to get Tap, Tap installed and ready to go.

To configure the screenshot gesture, open Tap, Tap, and then select either “Double Tap Actions” or “Triple Tap Actions.” For this guide, we’ll select the former.
Next, tap “Add Action.”
Tap “Screenshot.”
That’s all you really need to do, but you can take it a bit further if you want to make sure the action behaves appropriately. To do so, tap “Add Requirement.”
It’s not possible to take a screenshot when the display is off, but just to make sure the gesture isn’t being detected, tap “Display On.” Now, the Tap, Tap app will only run when the display is on.
That’s it! You can now tap the back of your phone to instantly take a screenshot.
