The Moto G47 Power launched in October 2026 with a big 7,000mAh battery, a 6.67-inch 120Hz screen, a 108MP camera and Android 16. Its fingerprint sensor sits in the side Power button, which affects how you press the screenshot shortcut. Here’s every method that works.

Method 1: Power + Volume Down Buttons

  1. Open the screen you want to capture.
  2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time.
  3. Let go when the screen flashes.
  4. A preview appears at the bottom. Tap it to edit or share, or leave it and it saves on its own.

Tip: The fingerprint sensor is built into the Power button. If you rest your finger on it too long, the phone may try to read your fingerprint instead. A quick, firm press of both buttons works best.

Method 2: Three-Finger Touch and Hold

Motorola’s own shortcut. Hold three fingers still on the screen; don’t swipe.

  1. Open the screen you want to capture.
  2. Touch and hold the screen with three fingers until it captures.

Turn it on:

  1. Go to Settings > Gestures.
  2. Tap Three-finger screenshot.
  3. Turn it on.

Tip: Playing games on the G47 Power? Tap the edit icon in the Three-finger screenshot menu and exclude your games, so multi-finger controls don’t take screenshots by accident.

Method 3: Quick Settings Tile

  1. Swipe down from the top of the screen.
  2. Tap the screenshot tile.

If you can’t find it, tap the edit (pencil) icon and drag the tile into your list.

Method 4: From Recent Apps

  1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold.
  2. Swipe to the app you want to capture.
  3. Tap the screenshot icon below it.

Method 5: Ask Google

  1. Open the screen you want to capture.
  2. Say “Hey Google, take a screenshot.”

This works with Google Assistant or Gemini when voice activation is on.

Method 6: Scrolling Screenshot

Capture a long chat, receipt or web page in one image.

  1. Take a screenshot on a page that scrolls.
  2. Tap the long-capture icon in the preview.
  3. The phone scrolls and captures. Tap STOP when you’re done.

Edit, Crop and Blur Your Screenshot

Tap the preview after taking a screenshot to open Motorola’s editor:

  • Crop: standard, full-screen, circle or freeform.
  • Draw and Highlight: tap the tool again to change color or size.
  • Text box: add your own note.
  • Mosaic: swipe over names, phone numbers or order details to blur them.

Where Are Screenshots Saved on Moto G47 Power?

Open the Photos app, tap Collections, then Screenshots.

The G47 Power has an HD+ screen, so each screenshot is 720 x 1604 pixels. That keeps the files small and quick to send on WhatsApp or by email.

Moto G47 Power vs Moto G47

They’re different phones. The Moto G47 Power is the newer model with the 7,000mAh battery, 108MP camera and Android 16. The screenshot shortcuts in this guide work on both, because both run Motorola’s software.
