The screenshot is one of the most-used smartphone features. We use screenshots to share important data, memes, pictures, and a multitude of other activities.
Screenshots aren't limited to expensive flagships like the iPhone 13 Pro and Galaxy S22 Ultra. They're also readily available on more affordable phones — including Samsung's Galaxy A devices. Whether you have a Galaxy A53 5G, Galaxy A42, A13, etc., taking screenshots is a critical feature to know.
