How to make a screen on shaomi redmi 10: the complete guide

Smartphones are becoming the center of our digital lives, and the need to quickly save information from the screen is constantly emerging. Whether it’s an important correspondence, a funny moment from a video or a confirmation of a bank transfer, a screenshot is the fastest solution. Xiaomi device owners often wonder how to capture a current image on the display, especially if they switched from a different operating system or just purchased a new product.

The Redmi 10 is powered by a MIUI shell that offers multiple options for doing this. Users can access both the classic methods known from Android and the unique features of the Xiaomi ecosystem. Understanding all the available methods will allow you to choose the most convenient option in any situation, whether it is using one hand or working with gloves.

In this article, we will take a look at every method, from physical buttons to advanced gestures, where to look for saved images and how to set up automatic editing immediately after you take a picture, and this knowledge will make it much easier to interact with your gadget and improve its efficiency in everyday tasks.

Classical Method Through Physical Buttons

The most common and common way for most Android users is to use a combination of hardware keys. On the side of Redmi 10 are the on button and the volume rocker. To create a screenshot, you need to simultaneously press the Power key and the top of the Volume Up swing. Pressing must be brief, almost instantaneous, so that the system does not perceive this as a long hold to call the off menu.

Many users make the mistake of clamping buttons too hard or for a long time, in which case the smartphone can go into standby mode or launch a voice assistant. The key to success is a light and quick click. If done correctly, you will hear the characteristic sound of the camera shutter (if the sound is on), and the screen will blink.

• 📸 Press Power and Volume at the same time.+.
• ⚡ Release the buttons immediately after vibration or sound.
• 🖼️ Check the appearance of the thumbnail in the top corner of the screen.
• 🔍 The image will automatically be saved in the gallery.

This method works even when the touch screen is temporarily unresponsive or locked (although it is not possible to take a screenshot for an unlocked screen), it is a universal method that works in 99% of applications and games. However, if you have a damaged volume button, you will have to use alternative options, which we will talk about below.

⚠️ Attention: If you press the buttons too long, an emergency call or (off) menu may appear instead of a screenshot.

Using three fingers for quick grip

MIUI is famous for its handy gestures, and one of the most popular is to take a three-finger screenshot, which is especially useful when you're holding your phone with one hand or when the hardware buttons are inconvenient. To activate this feature, you need to swipe three fingers from top to bottom down the center of the screen.

However, by default, this option can be disabled. To activate it, you need to go to the system settings. Find the section responsible for additional functions, and make sure that the switch opposite the corresponding point is lit green. Once turned on, you can take screenshots with a light swipe, which greatly speeds up the process.

The advantage of this is that it's fast and intuitive, and you don't have to look for buttons on the case, which is especially true in winter or when you're using thick side protective covers, and it's also often used to call up the menu of the extended screenshot, which we'll talk about later.

• 🖐️ Open the settings and find the item Additional.
• 👆 Activate the Three Fingers function in the gesture menu.
• 📉 Swipe three fingers from top to bottom across the screen.
• ✅ Make sure the sound of the save is heard.

It is worth noting that this gesture may conflict with actions in some games or reading apps where three-finger swipe is used for other purposes. In such cases, the system may prioritize the action of the application, and the screenshot will not work, in which case it is better to switch to the buttons or notification curtain.

Control through the notification curtain

The third way that's often overlooked is to use the control panel, and at the top of the Redmi 10 screen is the notification and quick settings area, and if you swipe down twice, you'll see the full icon menu, and you'll find the screenshot button.

This is ideal when the physical buttons of a smartphone are faulty or when you want to take a picture without touching the side edges of the device. However, it has one significant drawback: when the curtain is opened, some of the content on the screen can shift or be blocked by the control panel, so it is best used for static images or when precise positioning is not critical.

You can also add a screenshot shortcut to your desktop or widgets for even faster access, and you can click on the empty desktop space for a long time, select "Widgets" and find a screenshot tool, which will create a separate icon that will instantly save the current image.

• 🔽 Swipe from top to bottom to open the control center.
• 🔍 Find an icon with a picture of scissors or a screen.
• 🖱️ Click on it to create a picture.
• 📂 Check the preservation in the Gallery app.

⚠️ Note: When using a notification curtain, the current active window may curl up or shift. For accurate screenshots of application interfaces, this method may be less effective.

Voice control and Google Assistant

Modern smartphones, including the Xiaomi Redmi 10, have powerful voice assistants. You can just say "OK, Google" (or activate the assistant with a button) and say "Take a screenshot" or "Screenshot of the screen." The assistant will understand the request and perform the action without touching the screen.

This is especially useful in situations where hands are busy or dirty, such as when cooking or working with documents. Voice control in MIUI is integrated deep enough so the command is executed quickly. However, it requires a stable Internet connection to work, since voice requests are often processed on servers.

You can also set up a screenshot to run on a schedule or through automation scenarios if you use advanced features, but even the basic voice command works out of the box and doesn't require complex setups other than microphone activation and speech recognition.

• 🗣️ Activate the voice assistant with a phrase or button.
• 📢 Say a clear command, “Take a screenshot».
• ⏳ Wait for sound confirmation and vibration.
• 👀 Check the result in the gallery.

In such cases, you will receive a notice that you cannot save the content for privacy reasons.

💡

For quick activation of Google Assistant, you can hold the Home button for a long time (if it is virtual) or use the side button if the appropriate function is assigned in the settings.

Long screenshot and extended functions

One of Redmi 10's most useful features is the ability to create a "long screenshot" or scroll, which is necessary when you want to save a long chat in a messenger, a web page or a list of contacts that do not fit on a single screen. After you create a regular screenshot (in any of the ways described above), a thumbnail appears at the top of the screen.

This thumbnail has a button with two down arrows or a Scrolling icon, and you click on it and you start a long screenshot mode. The screen will automatically scroll down, capturing the contents, and you can stop the process at any time by touching the screen, or wait for the end of the page.

The system will automatically glue multiple frames into one long, high-quality image, eliminating the need to take multiple individual shots and then edit them.The feature works in most scrollable content applications, but may not be supported in some games or specific interfaces.

Once you've finished creating a long screenshot, you can also edit it, cut the edges, add text, or highlight important areas with a marker, all of which are available immediately in the preview window that appears, making the image process very convenient and fast.

💡

A long screenshot is not a separate button, but a feature available in the preview menu immediately after a normal screenshot is created.

Where to look and how to edit saved images

Once you've taken a screenshot on Xiaomi Redmi 10, the system automatically stores it in internal memory, and by default, all images go to the Gallery app's system folder, and you can find them by opening the app and going to Screenshots, where files are sorted by date of creation.

The file structure also allows you to find these images through the explorer. The path usually looks like Internal Memory → DCIM → Screenshots or MIUI → gallery → cloud → screenshots, depending on the firmware version and synchronization settings. Knowing the path is useful if you want to transfer files to your computer or clear the space manually.

The MIUI embedded editor offers a wide range of processing tools: you can crop an image, apply filters, draw by hand, add text or stickers. Also available is Magic Erase to remove redundant objects, although it does not work on all versions of the software. Processing immediately after creation saves time, since it does not require opening a separate application.

• 🖼️ Open the Gallery app on your desktop.
• 📁 Go to the Screenshots album.
• ✏️ Click "Change" to edit.
• 🗑️ Remove unnecessary files to free up space.

⚠️ Note: When cleaning memory through system utilities, be careful not to accidentally delete important screenshots with receipts or tickets, as they are often labeled as “junk” cache files.

Regular screenshot sorting helps keep things in order in our smartphones. Often we take dozens of pictures a day and after a week we don't remember what they are depicting. Using the albums and tags in the Xiaomi gallery will help structure information and quickly find the right image in the future.
