Screenshot in BLU C5

How to take a screenshot or screen capture on a BLU C5

One essential feature of modern smartphones is the ability to take screenshots, capturing an image of what is currently displayed on your BLU C5's screen.

Although there are apps for this function, you don’t need to install any additional ones, as it’s already built into the Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition) operating system.

Taking a screenshot allows you to save a WhatsApp conversation, a Tinder message, an Instagram story, a Facebook photo, or a video frame directly to your BLU device's memory.

If, on the other hand, you want to record a video of your C5's screen, such as a video call, a story, a web page, or part of an internet video, you can follow the next tutorial: Record screen on C5
