Alternative Screenshot Button for Android Phone

The Android phone has an option which enables a home page icon group of some popular key functions, eg:
  • Screen snapshot, rather than pressing a couple of buttons
  • Volume Control
  • Larger navigation buttons, eg, Home, Back, etc.

It is designed for those users with dexterity issues, but can be very useful for anyone, in particular to take a screenshot.

To enable it:
Go to settings > Accessibility> Interaction and Dexterity > turn on Assistant Menu.

An ICON with 4 small squares will appear, which can be moved around the screen as desired. 

Click the icon, and a panel will appear with various function buttons.

So, he phoned me and luckily I was not far away, so when I asked where he was, the reply was. "Just go up Smith Lane, until you see a white house on the left, just before that there are large fir trees on the left next to a farm gate pull in, I will see you there".   Of course I zoomed past missed the white house and then spend 20 mins going back and forth looking for a white house opposite fir trees.   When I got there, "I asked why did you not WHAT 3 WORDS?"
