How can I take a screenshot on a samsung galaxy?

I don't think you need an app for that.

Either:
Hold power and home button at the same time for a few seconds
or
Using the side of your hand (length of pinky down to your wrist) swipe your hand across the whole screen. Make sure the sensors on the top see the swipe.

yes holding the home button and power button for 2 seconds worked! I don't know what you mean by the other one swiping. I tried doing it like on Apple which is holding the power button and home button just for a quick half a second but it didn't work l. thanks a ton

Just like the "last seen" reports, if you turn it off you can't see others' read receipts. Also "Read receipts are always sent for group chats".

My Swype was getting pretty slow so I decided to give Google Keyboard another shot and discovered I might actually like it. I don't remember exactly what I didn't like about it last time but I guess they fixed whatever it was. It's quick and smooth. The only con is that there's no swiping in Hebrew but Swype's Hebrew dictionary was so incomplete I found myself having to key in half the words anyways (after trying to Swype them in unsuccessfully first) so I can live with that (and switching between Hebrew and English is quicker/easier too).

Weird, I have version 4.0.21173.1568296.

What's the bottom line with FB Messenger? There were big rumors when it came out about all the permissions..
I don't wan't to sound naive but there was so much noise and, IIRC, not just from stupid sources.
