How to Turn Off Screenshot Preview on Samsung Phone (Android 14)

Do you want to get rid of the screenshot thumbnail preview on your Galaxy phone? If yes then this guide is for you. In this post, you’re going to learn how to turn off screenshot preview on Samsung Galaxy phones running Android 14.

In the bottom left corner of the screen when you capture a screenshot, a little thumbnail preview of the image shows. The snapshot preview appears when you tap on it, opening Markup where you may annotate it or quickly share it. If you aren’t going to write up your screenshot, though, you might want for it to disappear.

The Samsung smartphone’s screenshot toolbar is a very helpful feature for people who frequently alter screenshots or wish to share them right away. In the toolbar, you may crop, annotate, or highlight a picture, share the screenshot, or view it in one of the preloaded apps like Gallery or Google Photos. You can also scroll down the screen to capture the entire page.

The screenshot toolbar’s main drawback is that you have to wait a little while for it to vanish before you can capture another screenshot.

On Samsung Galaxy devices, whenever you take a screenshot, a toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen. It shows additional options after you take a screenshot.

You can:

• Scroll to capture more of the screen.
• Crop or draw on the screenshot.
• Add tags to the screenshot.
• Share the screenshot.

Meanwhile, if you don’t want to do all the above-mentioned actions then you can disable the thumbnail preview of the screenshot with ease.
