How can I take a screenshot with my iPhone?

February 2, 2011 By 11 Comments

iPhone Screen ShotA few months ago I was asked to contribute a chapter explaining Facebook Places & Deals for the book Facebook Marketing For Dummies. I was excited, of course, but I was confused about a significant issue. Facebook Places & Deals are mostly relevant on a smart phone because you need to check into a place via your phone’s Facebook app in order to take advantage of a deal. To show how to use the app and check in, I would need to have screen shots. But how in the world do you take a screen shot of your iPhone’s screen? Thankfully, I found out and the screenshots are in the book. I thought you might want to know how to do it too, and it’s so incredibly easy, you won’t believe it.

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.

    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. :-)
