How to take screenshots on your Android phone
There are at least two ways to take a screenshot of your Android device’s screen, assuming your phone is loaded with Android 9 or later. (Because Android phones from various manufacturers can vary greatly in how they handle features, your phone may have other ways to perform the same task.)

Press and hold the power button. You’ll get a pop-out window on the right side of your screen with icons that let you power off, restart, call an emergency number, or take a screenshot. Or...
Hold down the power button and press the volume-down button

Either way, after you’ve taken the screenshot, it will briefly appear as a smaller version and then disappear. A drop-down will briefly appear on top letting you know that the screenshot is being saved, and then it will be replaced by another drop-down that, if you tap it, will let you share or delete the screenshot or make some basic edits. That box will disappear after a few seconds, but if you check your top-left notifications bar, you’ll find one for that screenshot.
Some Android phones (for example, certain Samsung and Huawei phones) let you take “long” screenshots, where you can scroll the screen down and capture the entire page. Check your phone’s support pages if you think you might have that. It can be handy.

If you want to find all your past screenshots:

Go to your Photos app
Tap on the three parallel lines in the top-left corner
Select “Device folders” > “Screenshots”

How to take screenshots on your iPhone

If you’re using an iPhone, you’ll find that taking a screenshot is a very simple operation.

Press the side button and the volume-up button simultaneously. (Note: if you have an iPhone that has a Home button, you need to press the side button and the Home button instead.)
You’ll get a thumbnail image of your screenshot in the lower-left corner
Tap on the image to make it larger. Icons in the upper-right corner let you delete it or share it. There will also be editing tools below that will let you add highlights or mark it up. Click on the plus sign in the lower-right corner and you can add text, a signature, arrows, or various shapes.
When you’re finished, tap “Done” in the upper-left corner. You can save the image to Photos, Files, or delete it.

I only take screenshots when I'm trying to turn the volume down.

Instructions "find all your screenshots" do not work on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Android version 9. Power button and volume down does work.

I think I know what your problem is.

Holding down the power button does not give the option to screenshot on my Samsung Galaxy S8+(I think).
Power and volume down, and swiping the screen does though.

Spoiler alert: The answer is, get out of the road, assholes!

(this pro-tip also works for 4x4's)
