How to change screenshots folder in Samsung Galaxy: One UI 5.1 Tips and Tricks
Until the One UI 5.0, there’s no way to customize the folder of saved screenshots. Though, a bit late, Samsung officially brought the ability to change the folder where screenshots and screen recordings are saved, thanks to the new One UI 5.1 update.
Samsung’s One UI saves screenshots and screen recordings in the DCIM folder by default. Most users wanted the ability to customize the screenshots storage folder, and the new One UI 5.1 update makes it possible on Galaxy devices. If you want to know how to change location, follow the steps given below:
Follow our socials → Google News, Telegram, Twitter, Facebook
- Open the Apps Screen, visit System Settings, followed by Advanced features
- Beside the Smart suggestions, you should see the Screenshots and screen recorder tab, tap on it
- For Screenshots,
- Tap the “Save screenshots in” option
- For the Screen recorder,
- Tap the “Screen recordings in” option
By changing the location, you can prevent the Google Photos app from backing up screenshots and screen recordings. This is quite useful as screenshots will no longer occupy the storage of Google Photos cloud storage. However, separating them also enhances access to the DCIM folder for important images.

The Weather Insight Widget shows the current temperature, humidity, air quality, UV index, and wind speed, as well as the forecast for the next 24 hours and 7 days.
It also alerts the user of any upcoming severe weather, such as storms, snowfall, rain, or heat waves. The widget helps the user stay well-informed and prepared for weather changes.
You can easily add the Weather Insight Widget to the home screen of the Galaxy device. Here are the steps to follow:

Now, you can drag and drop the widget to the desired location on the home screen and resize it if needed. Once the widget is added, the user can edit it by tapping on the settings icon on the top right corner of the widget. The user can also access more details and tips by tapping on the widget itself.
