How to take a screenshot of the phone screen? (Android, iOS)

From time to time I get the question "How to take a screenshot of the phone screen?" And I realize that I did not write an article about it at all, and I use this option every day. So I will explain that in this article for Android and iOS devices.

How to take a screenshot of the phone screen:

iOS – iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch

1. Press and hold the Sleep / Wake button
2. Press and release the Home button immediately
3. Find the screenshot in Albums > Camera Roll

Be careful to do it all quickly and accurately.

Android

Screen capture on Android devices varies from phone to phone. But I will do my best to cover the majority. Finally, take a look at screen capture apps.

Android ICS (4.0) and newer (5.x, 6.x, 7.x)

1. Press and hold the volume down key and the home key at the same time
2. When the screen capture animation appears, release the keys
3. You can view the image in the notification panel
4. You can also upload a picture to the gallery

So, all phones with this version of the system and newer have a built-in screen capture option in the system itself, regardless of the device model. If you have an older system, read on!

Android 2.3 and older

Unfortunately, users of older Google devices have not implemented the screen capture option in Android itself, but some phone manufacturers have.

For example, if you have a Samsung, try pressing and holding the Home and Power buttons (Home + Power) for a few seconds.

It would be best to ask Google if your device with this and that system has the option of taking screenshots, e.g. "Samsung Galaxy S2 Gingerbread screenshot" or in Serbian "how to paint the screen of the Galaxy S2 2.3 phone", etc.

In any case, you can install the No Root Screenshot It application and use it to capture the screen regardless of the system version and phone model. You can find more screen capture apps in the Play Store, just make sure they require root. If you do not have a rooted device, look for those that say "no root", etc.

Look for pictures in the gallery, usually in the Images > Screenshot folder and the like.
