Screenshot in BLU M8L

How to take a screenshot or screen capture on a BLU M8L

One essential feature of modern tablets is the ability to take screenshots, capturing an image of what is currently displayed on your BLU M8L'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 11 (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 M8L'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 M8L
