The ASUS ROG Phone 7 and ROG Phone 7 Ultimate are the best that the gaming phone segment has to offer. Packed with powerful specifications and impressive features. But you\u2019ll be doing more than just playing games on this device. You\u2019ll use the ROG Phone 7 or ROG Phone 7 Ultimate for everyday stuff too, like taking a screenshot, capturing photos and video, and much more. But just how exactly do you take a screenshot on the ROG Phone 7?
\nWell that\u2019s what this guide is here to tell you. We\u2019ll walk you through the steps to take screenshots on the device so you can save whatever your little heart desires. In fact, taking a screenshot is a pretty simple process. So let\u2019s get into it.
\nHow to take a screenshot on the ASUS ROG Phone 7
\nTaking a screenshot on the ROG Phone 7 and ROG Phone 7 Ultimate is quite easy and it will definitely feel like second nature to you rather quickly. But that being said, there is more than one way to take a screenshot on this phone. So this guide will walk you through the native methods.
\nLet\u2019s start with the most basic method for taking a screenshot that most people who use an Android phone\u00a0should\u00a0be familiar with.
\nTo take a screenshot with the tried and true method, simply hold down the volume down button and the power simultaneously. You only need to hold them for about one second and the screenshot will pop up. The animation for this will look a little different based on the version of Android you\u2019re running.
\nBut since this is the ROG Phone 7 and it comes with Android 13 out of the box, what you\u2019ll see is a quick preview of the screenshot you just took. Which then shrinks down to a small preview in the bottom left corner of the screen, accompanied by options to edit it and share it and such. As mentioned of course, there are other ways to take a screenshot on this phone. And you may find using some of these other methods to be more pleasing or just easier.
\nOther ways to take a screenshot on the ROG Phone 7
\nASUS phones have more than one way to take a screenshot and believe me when I say that some of them will be super useful if you\u2019re wanting to take one while playing games. With that, let\u2019s get into it.
\nDouble tap gesture
\nThe double tap gesture method is one of my favorite ways to take a screenshot. But I don\u2019t personally use it all the time. Because I\u2019m still so used to the power button and volume down method, I always default to this for screenshots in most situations. But the double tap gesture is great for when I want to take a screenshot playing games, because it\u2019s just easier to implement. Here\u2019s how you get this working.
\nStart by launching the settings menu.<\/p>\n
Scroll down to advanced settings and select this menu.<\/p>\n
Look for the Gestures segment which should be denoted by a \u2018Gestures\u2019 label in colored text. Look for the \u2018Back double tap\u2019 toggle and enable this.
\nAlso make sure that taking a screenshot is the selected function when you do the double tap. There are multiple functions you can have this gesture implement. To select the function, tap on the word \u201cback double tap\u201d and it\u2019ll bring up a menu with a list of functions for this gesture. Screenshot should be the first one. Select this if it\u2019s not already the default for you.<\/p>\n
Quick settings
\nThis is another really simple way to take a screenshot and some might prefer this method. Start by dragging down your notification shade to open the quick settings menu. This is where you\u2019ll see all those buttons for enabling different stuff like your WiFi, mobile data, Bluetooth, airplane mode and more. Screenshot will be one of these options.<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t see it, you can tap the edit button (a little pencil button on the right side of the quick settings menu) to add it. If it is there, simply tap the screenshot button and the quick settings menu will go back up, and then a screenshot will be taken of whatever screen you\u2019re on shortly after.
\nThe three finger swipe
\nAnother easy method for taking a screenshot with this device is the three fingers screenshot. This is another gesture and will need to be enabled.
\nTo turn this on, start by dragging down the quick settings menu.
\nScroll to find the Screenshot button, then long press it instead of tapping it. This will open a screenshot-specific menu.<\/p>\n
Turn on the toggle for \u2018Three fingers screenshot.\u2019 Then to implement this method all you have to is tap three fingers to the screen and swipe down. This will take the screenshot. You can also tap on the words \u2018Three fingers screenshot\u2019 in the menu to turn on yet another toggle that will allow this method to work while gaming.
\nRecent apps screen
\nThis is an odd place for it to be, but believe it or not you can actually take a screenshot from the recent apps screen. On the ROG Phone 7 you can open recent apps from either the swipe upward from the bottom edge (if you have gesture navigation enabled), or by pressing the actual button for recent apps if gesture navigation is not turned on.
\nOnce the recent apps screen is open, you\u2019ll see \u201cscreenshot\u201d as an option in the bottom left corner. Simply tap that and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n
Power button menu
\nAnother option is hiding in the power button menu. Simply press and hold the power button down like you\u2019re going to turn the phone off and you\u2019ll see an option to take a screenshot here. Tap that option and boom, screenshot.<\/p>\n
Using Google Assistant
\nNaturally, you can have Google Assistant take a screenshot for you as well. Simply say, \u201cHey Google, take a screenshot\u201d and Google will oblige.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s all the methods that I could find on this device, though there is also likely other ways to take screenshots through the use of third-party apps you can grab from the Play Store. And there may be methods baked into third-party home launchers as well. So that\u2019s something worth considering if you venture into that realm.
\nOtherwise, you can use any of the methods above to get any screenshots you need.
