How to Take a Screenshot on your Smartphone and PC’
Did you see something interesting on
your smartphone that you want to take a picture of? Whether you are having
issues with your phone and don’t know
how to explain it and need to show someone online for help or an app or phone
setting, an interesting score in a game you just played, or something else, be
it on android, blackberry, iphone, windows (phone or PC’s) OS, you can take a
screenshot of it. Screenshots are saved in picture folders in this devices and it’s
easy to share them.
Capturing screenshots is very easy
on most devices as most OEM’s now add shortcuts in form of buttons on these
devices depending on the operating systems they are running on. In this
article, I will be showing you how to take screenshots on Android OS, iOS,
Blackberry 6,7,8 and 10 OS, Windows phone 8 and 8.1 OS and PC windows 7, 8, 8.1 OS.
Android
Its as easy as pressing and holding down the Power and Volume Down buttons together until you hear the shutter sound and see the screen flash. The screenshot snapped is saved to a screenshot folder in your gallery where you can view,edit and share it.
Windows 8 and 8.1 phones
Press
and hold down the Start button and Power button at the same time why you just
have to press and hold down the Power and Volume Up buttons together to snap
your screenshot. You can view and share the screenshots from the screenshots
album in the phones Photo Hub.
Windows PC devices
Some Window PC’s have a keyboard
button for capturing screenshots. All you have to do then is click on the
button after you have opened what you want to capture. If the screenshot button doesn't come with your PC’s keyboard, you can use a pre-installed software on your Windows PC called snipping tool. To take a shot of a screen with Snipping tool,
all you have to do is to open it via Start menu >> All Programs >>
Accessories >> Snipping tool. Click on new then use the cursor that will
appear to select the area of the screen you want to capture, and then release
your mouse to capture. After capturing, a new window will open showing you
your captured screen. You can edit it via the Snipping tool before
saving or emailing it. Alternatively, you can download an app like PC
Screen Capture, Tiny Take or Screen Grab, install
and run. The images you capture can be saved in any folder you select.
Blackberry Playbook, 5, 6, 7 and 10 OS devices There is no pre-installed screen
capture app for Blackberry OS 5, 6 and 7 devices so you will need to download a
screen capturing app from Blackberry App World. Examples of some very good and
reliable applications for capturing your screen include Capture It, Screen
shot, Screen muncher, Screen shooter and Screen Capture. Just search for any of them in BlackBerry App World
on your Blackberry phone, then download and install.
When you find a a screen you want to capture, just press the Menu button and select the screen shot app you downloaded, open it and snap whatever it is you want. All screenshots will be saved automatically in the pictures application on your Blackberry device.
For Blackberry Playbook and OS 10 devices, first find the screen of which you want to take a screenshot. When you are ready to snap, press the Volume Up and Volume Down keys on the right hand side of the device at the same time until you hear a camera shutter sound. The screenshot will be saved to the camera folder on your device.
iOS devices
Only devices
running on iOS 2.0 or higher can take screen shots. To take a screenshot on
your iPhone or iPad, press and hold the Home and Lock/Power buttons at the same
time
The screen shots you take are
automatically saved in the default Photos app under an album called Photos or
Camera Roll depending on your device and iOS version.
