 I remember somebody telling me here how to do screenshots on my A16 without having to push the side buttons at the same time. But I can't find that old post here. Can somebody help? I can't do the buttons, my fingers are too big and I can't press them without turning the screen off.
I'm sorry, I CAN'T. I know I got the suggestion here

1. Button Combination
Press Power (Side) + Volume Down at the same time for about a second. The screen will flash and the screenshot is saved.


2. Palm Swipe Gesture
If enabled, you can swipe the side of your hand across the screen (left โ†’ right or right โ†’ left) to capture a screenshot.

To turn this on: Settings โ†’ Advanced features โ†’ Motions and gestures โ†’ Palm swipe to capture



3. Quick Settings / Pull-Down Menu
There may be a Screenshot button in the Quick Settings (notification shade) panel. If it's not there, you can edit the Quick Settings tiles and add it.

take a screenshot on a Samsung Galaxy A16, simultaneously press and release the Power button and the Volume down button. You can also use the Palm swipe gesture to capture the screen by swiping your hand across it, or enable a Screenshot button in the Quick Panel by editing it in the device's settings.

If you don't see it on the quick panel you can add it by clicking on the pencil and adding the screenshot button.
