    Step #2: Press and hold the Side button which is at the top right-hand side of your iPhone

    Step #3: Now, quickly press the Volume up button while still holding the Side button then release both buttons immediately. Your iPhone screen will briefly flash a white light and the camera will make a shutter noise (if your iPhone is not placed on silent mode). All screenshots will be saved automatically directly to the Photos App. From there, the screenshot can be shared to apps such as WhatsApp, email, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.

    Note that if you are using iPhone 8 or earlier, press the side button and the Home button instead.

    If you have Android version 9 or 10, there are two methods to take a screenshot on your Android device and they include the following.

    • Press and hold the power and volume down buttons
    • Press and hold the power button. A popup window will be displayed on the right-hand side of the device screen with icon options for you to power off, restart, call an emergency number or take a screenshot

    Irrespective of the method you used to take the screenshot, it will briefly appear as a smaller version and then disappear and a notification will be displayed that lets you edit, delete or share the screenshot.

    To see previous screenshots, do the following steps:

    • Go to your Photos app on your android device
    • Tap on the three parallel lines located at the top left corner of your android device
    • Select Device folders >> Screenshots.

    If your android device has support for Google Assistant or Bixby(Samsung), you can use voice command to take a screenshot of your device screen. For those using Samsung devices that come with an S Pen stylus, you can take a screenshot from the Air Command menu by tapping on Screen Write and you can then write or crop the screenshot image. Samsung phones also support using of hand gestures to take a screenshot with its Palm swipe to capture feature.
