Screenshot in Huawei MatePad SE

How to take a screenshot or screen capture on a MatePad SE

One essential feature of modern tablets is the ability to take screenshots, capturing an image of what is currently displayed on your Huawei MatePad SE'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 HarmonyOS 2.0 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 Huawei device's memory.
