Oreo Update For Samsung Will Name Screenshots Based On What It Captured

Naming your files is obviously the best way to identify them, but sometimes our phones/computers name the files themselves, which can be a bit confusing. However it seems that with the Android Oreo update that is coming to Samsung phones, it looks like Samsung wants to improve on the user experience.

According to a report from SamMobile, it appears that Samsung will help users name their screenshots based on the image that was taken. For example if you take a screenshot of the home screen or app drawer, the file will be named Screenshot_Samsung Experience Home, or if you take a photo of YouTube it will be called Screenshot_YouTube. The time and date of the screenshot will also be added to the file name, which will make it easier for users to identify in the future.

However as SamMobile notes, this is probably something that not all users might find useful or necessary. However if you’re the type that likes to manage their files and save them for backing up and would like some context, then this feature will come in handy. The fact that it is smart enough to identify what you’re screenshotting will also save users time and effort from having to manually rename them.
