Please note that there might be differences on how to make a screenshot on some devices which use different operating systems. The instructions provided below are the most common ways to make a screenshot.
On Android Devices:
- You can take a screenshot of your device’s screen by pressing the Volume Down button and Power button simultaneously for 1-2 seconds.
- If the screen flashes, then you will know that a particular screenshot was taken. You will also hear a sound when the image is captured, if the phone is not set to `Silence` mode.
- If you didn't see any flash or hear any sound, you can try another method of taking the screenshot. This time, press the Home button and the Power button simultaneously.
- You can swipe down from the top of your phone screen and click the screenshot you’ve just created to open it.
- The screenshots can also be found in `Gallery` > `Albums` > `Screenshots`
If neither of these work, please visit your phone manufacturer’s support site for help.
On Apple Devices:
- You can take a screenshot of your screen by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously for 1-2 seconds. The screen is captured only after you release these buttons.
- If the screen flashes, then you will know that particular screenshot was taken. You will also hear a sound when the image is captured, if the phone is not set to `Silence` mode.
- You can open the screenshot directly by tapping the small image which appears after the flash.
- The screenshot can also be found in `Photos` > `Albums` > `Camera Roll`
If neither of these work, please visit your phone manufacturer’s support site for help.
