How to take a screenshot or screen capture on a Huawei P50

One essential feature of modern smartphones is the ability to take screenshots, capturing an image of what is currently displayed on your Huawei P50'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.
