How to take a screenshot on a flip phone 

To capture a screenshot of your flip phone’s cover screen, simply press and hold down the power button and volume-down button simultaneously when the cover display is active. This method is similar to taking a screenshot on an Android device.

It’s important to note that the orientation of the volume buttons changes depending on whether the phone is folded open or closed. When the phone is folded shut, the volume-up button functions as a volume-down button and vice versa.

If you successfully take a screenshot, the screen will flash white, indicating that the screenshot has been saved. You can then open your phone, navigate to the gallery app, and view the screenshot.
