Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge: How to Enable and Use Smart Capture Feature in Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow

If taking a screenshot with regular way is not enough for you, you can try doing so by using the smart capture feature. When this feature is enabled, your phone will provide additional options after taking a screenshot, lets you capture hidden areas of the screen so you can save the whole screen into a single image, crop the screenshot to remove unwanted or unused area, or immediately share it with others as soon as you take it.

You can turn on or off this feature by using the following steps:
