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.

10 tips to keep you safe on your phone

 1: Update everything. Your phone, your apps. Security patches exist for a reason. Install them to use strong, unique passwords. 2: Use a password manager, they're better than using password 123 for every account or even using a notebook. 3: Enable 2 factor authentication, but use an authenticator app, not SMS. Remember the SIM swapping thing? Microsoft and Google have authenticator apps. 4: Be paranoid about links. If you get a text or e-mail,  assume it's malicious until proven otherwise.

Some, Samsung phones turn Wi-Fi off when out of range automatically, 6:  Review app permissions regularly. Go through your apps and revoke unnecessary permissions.
