How to Turn ON | OFF Three Finger Screenshot on Android Phone (Best Method)
2How to Turn On or Off Three-Finger Screenshot on an Android Phone (Best Method)
The three-finger screenshot feature allows you to capture a screenshot by swiping three fingers down (or up, depending on the device) on the screen.
This is a popular feature on many Android phones, including Motorola, Samsung, Xiaomi, and others, but its availability and settings depend on the manufacturer and Android version (e.g., Android 11 or later).
Since you mentioned a Motorola phone in your previous question, I’ll focus on Motorola’s implementation but also cover the general Android process for brands like Xiaomi, OnePlus, or others that commonly support this.
Here’s the best method to enable or disable it, based on ease and reliability, as of September 2025.
For Motorola Phones
Motorola phones (e.g., Moto G series, Edge, Razr) running Android 11 or later typically include the three-finger screenshot feature under Moto Gestures or System Gestures.
Steps to Turn On/Off Three-Finger Screenshot
Open Settings:
Swipe down from the top of the screen and tap the gear icon, or find Settings in the app drawer.
Navigate to Gestures:
Go to Settings Gestures (or search for "gestures" in the Settings search bar).
Look for Moto Gestures or System Gestures (on newer models, it might be under System Gestures & inputs).
Find Three-Finger Screenshot:
Tap on Three-finger screenshot or Screenshot gesture (exact name varies by model).
If not listed, it may be under Quick Capture or Touch & hold screenshot.
Toggle On/Off:
Turn On: Slide the toggle to the right (it’ll turn blue or green). A prompt may show a demo of swiping three fingers down.
Turn Off: Slide the toggle to the left (it’ll turn gray).
Test It:
To take a screenshot, place three fingers together and swipe down on the screen (or up, if prompted). The screen will flash, and a preview appears in the bottom corner.
If it doesn’t work, ensure the gesture is enabled and your swipe is firm but not too fast.
