How to Take a Screenshot on Xiaomi Poco C71? [4 QUICK Methods]

Taking a screenshot on the Xiaomi Poco C71 is quick and easy once you know the right method. The Poco C71 runs Android 15 with MIUI and supports four different screenshot methods — so whether you prefer using buttons, gestures or your voice, there’s an option that works for you. This guide covers all four methods with clear step-by-step instructions.

Here are the 4 different methods to take screenshots on your Xiaomi Poco C71.

1. Using Physical Keys
2. Using 3 Fingers Gesture
3. Using Google Assistant
4. Using the Drop-Down menu

Method 1: Using Physical Keys

The fastest way to take a screenshot on the Xiaomi Poco C71 is to use the physical buttons. This method works on every screen, including the home screen, apps, and websites.

Step 1: Navigate to the screen you want to capture.

Step 2: Press and hold the Volume Down button and Power button at the same time for 1-2 seconds.

Step 3: You will hear a camera shutter sound and see a brief flash on the screen — this confirms the screenshot was taken.

Step 4: Find your screenshot in the Gallery app → Albums → Screenshots.

Tip: If you accidentally trigger the power menu instead, try pressing both buttons more precisely at the same time rather than one after the other.

Method 2: Using 3 Fingers Gesture

The 3-finger swipe gesture is the most convenient way to take a screenshot on the Poco C71 — once enabled, you just swipe down with three fingers anywhere on the screen.

Step 1: Open Settings on your Poco C71.

Step 2: Tap Additional Settings.

Step 3: Tap Gesture Shortcuts.

Step 4: Find Take a Screenshot and tap it.

Step 5: Enable the Three-finger screenshot toggle.

Step 6: Now go to any screen and swipe three fingers downward simultaneously to take a screenshot instantly.

Tip: Make sure all three fingers touch the screen at the same time and swipe in one smooth motion downward.

Method 3: Using Google Assistant

Here is how to take a screenshot on your Xiaomi Poco C71 using Google Assistant with the help of a voice command:

• Go to the screen you want to capture.
• Now just say to your phone “Hey Google, Take a Screenshot”.

Method 4: Using Drop Down Menu

You can also take a screenshot on your Xiaomi Poco C71 using its drop-down menu option.

Step 1: Open the screen you want to take a screenshot of and then slide on the right side of your phone screen.

Step 2: On the next menu, tap on the “Screenshot icon“.

Where Are Screenshots Saved on Xiaomi Poco C71?

All screenshots on the Xiaomi Poco C71 are automatically saved to your Gallery app. Open the Gallery app and look for the Screenshots album — every screenshot you take will be stored there in order from newest to oldest.

You can also find screenshots using the File Manager app under Internal Storage → DCIM → Screenshots.

To share a screenshot immediately after taking it, tap the screenshot preview that briefly appears at the bottom of your screen and select the share option.

Screenshots Not Working on Xiaomi Poco C71?

If your screenshots are not saving or the method is not working, try these quick fixes:

1. Storage is full — Go to Settings → Storage and check available space. Screenshots need free storage to save.

2. Restart your phone — A simple restart fixes most screenshot issues on MIUI.

3. Three-finger gesture not working — Make sure you enabled it in Settings → Additional Settings → Gesture Shortcuts first.

4. Screenshot shows black screen — This happens when trying to screenshot protected apps like Netflix or banking apps. This is intentional and cannot be bypassed.

5. Buttons not responding — Try cleaning the buttons and pressing them simultaneously more precisely.
