I'm sorry to post again, but I need an alternative to screen capture on my A16. I can't do the two buttons. My fingers are too big. I can't do the hand swipe, either. It just scrolls. There has to be an alternative. A free app. I'm sorry but I can't do it. I'm tired of this. I can't do the two buttons. Why can't there be a way to capture without having to do hand yoga?

You can put screen record and take a screenshot in your top quick settings or do what I did.

I went into accessibility settings, interactions dexterity and turned on Assistant menu, then select Assistant menu items.
I put screenshot and the power off menu. You can put it anywhere on your screen and make it as small as you want, or as transparent as you want. It will take time to get use to it. Now it is 2nd nature for me.1747612761071.jpg

You are using the assistant menu option?

You could set a double press of the power button to take a screenshot. There's also a back tap option on good lock, and that can also be set to screenshot, but that one goes off randomly occasionally, not too often.

Thanks for the suggestion. I went ahead with the Assistant menu, I still don't use voice typing because I tend to mumble. I know you didn't suggest it, letting you all know.

There is a quick panel control for screenshots. Also the hand swipe does take a little practice, but once you get it, it becomes easy to master. Don't swipe too fast, don't press too hard, and use one smooth movement across the screen starting from the right center, not the edge.
