Android 11 introduced a number of changes, but one that might surprise you is how screenshots work. The functionality is almost the same as the previous versions of the operating system (SO), but Google changed things a bit. This is how screenshots work on Android.
How to take a screenshot on Android
Take a screenshot on Android 11 and more recent works principally in the same way as any previous version of the operating system, but an option has been moved. Beyond holding the physical Power and Volume Down buttons together, el atajo de captura de pantalla en pantalla que solía aparecer en el menú de Encendido se ha movido al menú “General description” (also known as Recent Applications).

To enter the shortcut, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause to open the Overview menu.
Touch the button “Screenshot” in the lower left corner.
Esto inmediatamente tomará una captura de pantalla y mostrará una vista previa en miniatura de la captura de pantalla con opciones para “Share” and “Edit” the picture.
Where are the screenshots on Android?
When you take a screenshot on Android 11 and later versions, se muestra en una miniatura en la esquina inferior izquierda junto con las alternativas para “Share” and “Edit” the picture. After a few seconds, the thumbnail disappears.
This is where people can get a little confused. Screenshots no longer appear in the notification shade. That means if you don't take any action on the thumbnail popup before it disappears, you will have to look for the screenshot in your photo gallery or file manager.
Las capturas de pantalla de forma general se guardan en la carpeta “Screenshots” from your device. As an example, to find your images in the Google Photos app, go to tab “Library”.
In the section “Fotos en el dispositivo”, verá la carpeta “Screenshots”.
Regardless of the file manager or photo gallery application you use, I searched “Screenshots” en la sección de almacenamiento raíz del dispositivo.
Some things were changed and adjusted, but the screenshots on Android 11 and later work just the same as in previous versions of the operating system. Changes can be a bit jarring at first, but they should feel like second nature in no time.
