The Motorola Edge 70 Plus launched at IFA in September 2026 with a 6.78-inch quad-curved 144Hz AMOLED screen, a 200MP camera and Android 16. Its curved edges change how a couple of the gestures feel, so this guide covers that too.
Method 1: Power + Volume Down Buttons
- Open the screen you want to capture.
- Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time.
- Let go when the screen flashes.
- Tap the preview to edit or share, or let it save on its own.
Method 2: Three-Finger Touch and Hold
Motorola’s own gesture. You hold three fingers on the screen instead of swiping.
- Open the screen you want to capture.
- Touch and hold the screen with three fingers until it captures.
Turn it on: Go to Settings > Gestures > Three-finger screenshot and switch it on.
Tip for the curved screen: Place your fingers in the middle of the display, not near the curved edges. Touches on the curve are less reliable and can trigger edge gestures instead.
Method 3: Quick Settings Tile
- Swipe down from the top of the screen.
- Tap the screenshot tile.
If it’s missing, tap the edit (pencil) icon and drag the tile into place.
Method 4: From Recent Apps
- Swipe up from the bottom and hold to open recent apps.
- Swipe to the app you want.
- Tap the screenshot icon below it.
Method 5: Ask Gemini
- Open the screen you want to capture.
- Say “Hey Google, take a screenshot.”
Method 6: Scrolling Screenshot
- Take a screenshot on a page that scrolls.
- Tap the long-capture icon in the preview.
- Tap STOP when you have everything.
Tap the screenshot preview to open Motorola’s editor:
- Crop in standard, full-screen, circle or freeform shapes.
- Draw, Highlight and Text box for notes.
- Mosaic to blur names, numbers and addresses.

Three-Finger Gesture Does Nothing
Check Settings > Gestures > Three-finger screenshot. Hold your fingers still in the middle of the screen. Swiping won’t work.
A Case Lip Gets in the Way
Some cases wrap over the curved edges. If gestures feel unreliable, try without the case or use the buttons.
Buttons Only Change Volume
Press Power and Volume Down at exactly the same time and hold briefly.
The App Blocks Screenshots
Banking and streaming apps often block screenshots. You’ll see a black image. This is a security feature.
Storage Is Full
Free up space in Settings > Storage, or add a microSD card. The Edge 70 Plus supports cards up to 1TB.
Restart and Update
Press and hold Power, tap Restart, then check Settings > System > System updates.
