A few months ago I was asked to contribute a chapter explaining Facebook Places & Deals for the book Facebook Marketing For Dummies
How to Take a Screenshot with Your iPhone
While looking at the screen you want to capture, just click and hold the top power button and the round menu button simultaneously. Your phone will take a picture of the screen and store it in your Camera Roll. Now you can send it, text it, download it, etc.

Oh I love this! It’s amazing how many things are possible these days – and how easy they are once you *know* how to do something. And the book? Now that is just cool – congrats on being asked to contribute (and so nice to meet you at Blissdom, too)!

Thanks, Michelle! I was surprised at how easy it is to take a screenshot, then text, e-mail, or save the image.
I have a Palm Pre Plus, and to do a screenshot you press three keys at once: the gray button on the left (which normally switches to the number/keypad symbol function), the Sym button (more symbols) and the P. The screenshot is saved in the Photos app in its own special category.

I discovered that it’s the same for the iPod Touch. I accidently did it one day.

Melanie,
This is why men need to ask ladies how to do stuff that is in the “Manual” – cause we don’t read the “Manual”… LOL
Thanks for the simple tip! I knew it had to be something simple like that.

Thanks so much! You saved me! I just switched back to iPhone and I couldn’t remember how to take a screen shot for a blog post I needed!!! This was perfect.
Thank you so much for the tip! I’ve been trying to work it out for ages…
Perfect! Thanks for the explanation.
Great… Many thanks !!!
Thank you for posting these instructions – this was very helpful.
Thanks for this tip. I see so many iPhone screenshots in Twitter and I have always wanted to know how to capture them… until now. Thanks again.
Thank you for explaining that! I have been wondering lately. Very handy for my instagram posts and a couple other people suggested some grest ways to use it I hadn’t thought of. Thanks for the info!
Idk why it’s not working for me. I hold the power and the home button but asks me to power it off… Not so much :/
Hi, Mae,
Be sure you’re not holding the buttons down continuously. You just press both together, then release.

Ms Nelson, your amazing thank you. My phone was doing that same thing and it work this time. Thank you
Well that might be because she wrote ” click and hold” the buttons. Really, you just click buttons simultaneously. No holding or the phone does turn off.
No wonder mine keeps turning off. Thank You.!!
Just wanted to say thanks for doing this blog, I’ve had my iPhone almost two years and didn’t know how to do this until now!
Same as Mae…have tried multiple times and my phone just wants to power down. Maybe there is a setting that needs to be changed?
You do it quickly if you hold both buttons down it will power down just press them together and let go don’t hold them down
K, that just turns off my phone every time. And yes, I’m holding the round menu button. I wonder if my Otterbox is getting in the way.
thank you very much! it is always good to see that there’s always someone to help you find out new things and won’t mind to share!
Thank you for sharing this information…it IS so simple…
Thx a lot this helped me
