When you take a screenshot, it will become a smaller icon on the lower left corner of your screen. To quickly remove it:

  • With your finger, touch the screenshot icon and flick it to the left. It will disappear from the screen.

Your screenshots are saved to the Photos app and can be viewed there. With this tip, you can get the screenshot out of the way and continue using your device unbothered.
