Method 1: Physical Keys — The Fastest Screenshot on Realme C100x
The quickest way to take a screenshot on Realme C100x is using the hardware buttons. This method works on every screen without any setup — home screen, apps, games and websites alike.
Step 1: Open the screen you want to capture on your Realme C100x.
Step 2: Press the Power button and Volume Down button simultaneously and hold for 1-2 seconds.
Step 3: A shutter sound confirms the screenshot was taken successfully.
Step 4: A preview toolbar appears at the bottom with options to Share, Edit, Scroll and Delete.
Step 5: Open Photos → Albums → Screenshots to find your saved screenshot anytime.
Tips for Method 1
Press both buttons at exactly the same time. However, if the volume slider appears, you pressed Volume Down slightly early. If the power menu opens, you pressed Power slightly early. Additionally, practice a couple of times and the timing becomes second nature.
Method 2: Three-Finger Swipe — Gesture Screenshot on Realme C100x
The 3-finger swipe lets you take a screenshot on Realme C100x without pressing any buttons. Furthermore, once enabled, simply placing three fingers on the screen and swiping down captures it instantly — making this the most convenient everyday method.
How to Enable Three-Finger Screenshot
Open Settings and tap Additional Settings. Next, tap Gesture and Motion. Then find Three-Finger Screenshot and switch the toggle ON.
How to Use the Gesture
Go to any screen you want to capture. Place three fingers on the screen simultaneously and swipe downward in one smooth, quick motion. Moreover, the screenshot saves automatically and the preview toolbar appears at the bottom straight away.
Tips for the Three-Finger Gesture
All three fingers must touch the screen at the same time — not one after the other. Additionally, swipe quickly and confidently rather than slowly. If the gesture fails on the first attempt, press a little firmer and swipe faster. Furthermore, this gesture works inside every app including games and streaming services.
Method 3: Quick Settings — One-Tap Screenshot on Realme C100x
Screenshot shortcut in the Quick Settings panel. This one-tap method captures your screen without buttons or gestures. Moreover, it is the easiest option for users who find other methods difficult.
Step 1: Open the screen you want to capture on your Realme C100x.
Step 2: Swipe down from the top of your screen to open the notification panel.
Step 3: Swipe down again to fully expand the Quick Settings panel.
Step 4: Tap the Screenshot tile to capture the screen immediately.
Step 5: Find your screenshot in Photos → Albums → Screenshots.
Adding Screenshot to Quick Settings
If the Screenshot tile is not visible, tap the pencil icon at the bottom of Quick Settings. Find Screenshot in the available tiles and drag it into your active shortcuts. Furthermore, placing it in the first row means you can reach it with a single swipe from any screen.
Method 4: Recent Apps Screenshot
[ph_ne] lets you take a screenshot of any recently used app directly from the Recent Apps view. Additionally, this method is perfect for capturing something that moved to the background before you had a chance to screenshot it.
Step 1: Navigate to the screen you want to screenshot on your Realme C100x, then go to another screen.
Step 2: Tap the Recent Apps button at the bottom of your screen or swipe up and hold from the bottom.
Step 3: Find the app card you want to capture in the Recent Apps view.
Step 4: Tap the app icon at the top of the card — a small drop down menu appears.
Step 5: Tap Screenshot from the menu — your screenshot saves automatically to Photos.
When to Use the Recent Apps Method
This method works best when you need to screenshot a notification, a brief pop-up or a message that disappeared quickly. Moreover, it saves you from reopening the app and recreating the same screen just to capture it.
Method 5: Google Assistant Voice Command
You can take a screenshot on Realme C100x completely hands-free using your voice. Furthermore, this is the best option when both hands are occupied — during cooking, exercise or any hands-free situation.
Step 1: Make sure Google Assistant is set up on your Realme C100x. Download the Google app from the Play Store if needed.
Step 2: Open the screen you want to screenshot on your Realme C100x.
Step 3: Say “Hey Google, take a screenshot” clearly out loud.
Step 4: Google Assistant captures the screen instantly and shows options to save or share it.
Alternative Ways to Open Google Assistant
Long press the Home button at the bottom of your screen to open Assistant manually. Moreover, on newer versions you can swipe up from the bottom corner to activate it. Additionally, the screenshot option appears directly in the Assistant menu so you can tap it instead of speaking.
Where Are Screenshots Saved on Realme C100x?
Every screenshot taken on Realme C100x saves automatically to the Photos app. Open Photos and tap Albums → Screenshots to see them all in order from newest to oldest.
File Manager path: Open the Files app → tap Internal Storage → tap Pictures → tap Screenshots.
Share immediately: Tap the preview that appears at the bottom of your screen right after taking a screenshot on Realme C100x. Share it directly to WhatsApp, Instagram or any other app without opening Photos first.
How to Take a Scrolling Screenshot on Realme C100x
After taking a regular screenshot, tap the Scroll button in the preview toolbar. Keep tapping to extend the capture further down the page. Furthermore, the complete long screenshot saves as one image automatically — perfect for capturing entire web pages, long chats and full documents.
Screenshots Not Working on Realme C100x?
If taking a screenshot on Realme C100x is not working, try these quick fixes first:
1. Restart your phone Hold the Power button and tap Restart. Moreover, a quick restart fixes most temporary screenshot issues on Realme C100x instantly — this single step resolves the majority of problems users report.

More Fixes for Screenshots on Realme C100x
4. Screenshot saves as black image A black screenshot means you tried to capture a DRM-protected app — Netflix, Disney+, a banking app or Snapchat. These apps block screenshots intentionally for security. Furthermore, this is normal on all Android phones — try screenshotting your home screen to confirm your phone works normally.
5. Screenshot preview not appearing Open Settings → Additional Settings and check if the screenshot toolbar is enabled. Some versions allow this notification to be toggled on or off separately.
6. Buttons not responding Clean the Power and Volume Down buttons gently. If physical damage prevents button use, switch to the Quick Settings method or use the Google Assistant voice command instead — both work without pressing any physical buttons.
According to the official Realme UI page, Realme UI 7 brings several new gesture and screenshot improvements across all supported devices.
