I did the update which was great except I cannot take a screen shot now.  The button is gone.  Holding volume and power buttons, even quickly, does not work to take a screen shot. Neither does swiping the screen work.  I thought I saw a solution on my phone, but either that is gone or it is in a certain app and I don't know which one.

@Members_dOXPemv To take a screenshot don't "hold" the buttons. You click volume down and the side button at the same time.

Bro I was like so much expensive phone and can't even take a screenshot i was starting to regret my decision of buying it although that palm swipe thing still doesn't works for me even though it's on in settings.

Thank you.  That had not worked, but I saw someone post something about Accessibility.  I don't know what I just toggled off or on, but the suggestion you just gave is working.

Try pushing volume down and power buttons simultaneously for 1-2 seconds, release, and quickly repeat (almost like a "double click"). Hope this helps!

If you swipe down from the top twice there should be a button to take o screen shot that you can toggle to take a pic.
