Methods to take screenshot on Huawei P20, Lite and Pro

Almost always, when we use an Android mobile, we try to use the buttons as little as possible. So Huawei has another option to take a screenshot. You will simply have to tap twice on the screen with your knuckles, as if you were knocking on the door.

Please note that this feature is only available on models in the spectrum P20. If you have a smartphone of another brand or a slightly older Huawei mobile, you will not be able to use it. But if you have a compatible mobile, it is probably the fastest and most convenient way to capture the mobile phone screen.

There is also the possibility that you don't need to capture the entire screen. Maybe you only need part of it. And Huawei's advanced models also have a function that makes this task easier for you.

To capture a fragment of the screen, you will simply have to draw it with your knuckles. Therefore, if you draw a square with your knuckles, only the part of the screen that is inside that square will be captured, leaving everything else out.

This option is much simpler than capturing the entire screen and then edit the image to cut.

    The notification bar slides down, of course, and among other options appears to capture screen; the simplest.
