How to take a screenshot or record a video on Android?

Take a screenshot

On most phones, just press and hold the Power + Volume Down buttons at the same time for a second, and your phone will take a screenshot. It'll show up in your Gallery app for you to share with whomever you wish!

Unfortunately, not all phones use the standard Android method.
* Samsung devices require you to press the Power + Home buttons instead
* Some phones use the standard method but also have additional options. For example, on Sony Xperia devices you can press the Power button to access the options menu. From there, you can take screenshots and record the screen.

Record a video

You can find many free screen recorder apps on Play.

To move apps to SD on an Android 6 or greater device, you have to format the SD card as internal storage (refer to http://bit.ly/2rOy4Uh ). Unfortunately, device manufacturers may remove the "Format as internal" option (no idea why they want to do that?). If you are using such a device, you can still format the SD card as internal without rooting the device. Please visit the following page for how to: https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-adoptable-storage-for-galaxy-s7-and-s7-edge/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y68EZlCW70E It looks a little bit complicated but, at least, it works w/o you to root the device for enabling this function. As it's the device's issue, you can also get help from your device manufacturer & mobile carrier .

How to format the SD card as the internal storage?

As you may know that, Android 6 introduces a new moving "apps to SD" feature (adoptable storage, refer to #4 below) and abandon the original solution of moving apps to portable external storage. If you are using an Android 6 or greater device, you have to format the SD card as internal storage for moving apps. It's required by Android. You can do that by following the instructions below: How to turn external SD card into internal storage on Marshmallow? 1. Go to the device "Settings" > select "Storage". 2. Select your SD Card > tap the three-dot menu on top-right corner > and select "Settings" (or "Storage settings") from there. 3. Select Format as internal (not Format or Format as portable storage ) > and then "Erase & Format" on the next screen. 4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage. 5. Reboot phone. This is very important; otherwise, you may end up frustrated with issues...
