Where do screenshots go on a Google phone?

Answered by Cody Janus

On a Google phone, such as a Pixel device, the screenshots you take can be found in a couple of different places. Let’s explore the two main locations where you can find your screenshots.

1. Screenshots Folder:
On the home screen of your Google phone, you can usually find a dedicated folder called “Screenshots.” This folder is created automatically to store all the screenshots you capture on your device. To access this folder, simply locate and tap on the “Screenshots” folder icon on your home screen. It typically has a preview image of your most recent screenshot.

Once you open the Screenshots folder, you’ll be able to see all your captured screenshots in chronological order. You can browse through your screenshots and tap on any of them to view or share them. This method provides a quick and easy way to access your screenshots directly from your home screen without having to navigate through other apps.

2. Photos App:
Alternatively, you can also find your screenshots in the Photos app on your Google phone. The Photos app serves as a central hub for all your media content, including both photos and screenshots. Here’s how you can locate your screenshots using the Photos app:

A. Open the Photos app on your Google phone. It is usually represented by a multicolored pinwheel icon.
B. Once the app is open, you will see various tabs at the bottom, such as “Photos,” “For You,” “Albums,” etc. Tap on the “Albums” tab.
C. In the Albums section, scroll down until you find the “Screenshots” album. Tap on it to open.

Inside the “Screenshots” album, you will find all your captured screenshots listed in chronological order. You can browse through the album, select a screenshot to view it in full size, and perform actions like sharing, editing, or deleting the screenshot if desired.

It’s worth mentioning that the exact steps and appearance of the Screenshots folder or album may vary slightly depending on the specific model of your Google phone and the version of the operating system it runs. However, the general idea remains the same.

On a Google phone, you can find your screenshots either in the dedicated Screenshots folder on your home screen or within the Screenshots album in the Photos app. Both methods provide convenient ways to access and manage your captured screenshots.
