Users on Android’s latest flavor, Marshmallow (version 6.0), are also likely familiar with Google Now on Tap. To summarize, this feature will attempt to provide contextual information from any screen on your device. So if a friend mentions a restaurant in a Hangouts message, you can use Google Now on Tap to quickly bring up directions or ratings.

The latest update to Google Now on Tap removes the need to use hardware buttons to take a screenshot. This will be welcome news to anyone who isn’t fond of the button combination, or users with device cases that make it difficult to only press the necessary buttons.

Here’s how to grab your screenshot with Google Now on Tap:
