Tuesday Tip: Taking a screenshot of your iPhone or iPad

by Richard Stokes

You’re playing ‘Words with Friends’ and you just placed that killer word that yields you 89 points to win the game.  You want to brag about it to all your friends and co-workers but you can’t figure out how to take a picture of the screen so that you can email or text it to them to prove your brilliance.  Well, now you can – it’s very easy:

Press and hold down the Home button  and then the Power/Sleep/Wake button at the top of the iPhone or iPad for a split second.  Your screen will flash and you will hear the camera take a picture.

You have now just taken a picture of what was currently displayed on your device and the image has been saved to your camera roll.  From here you can upload, email or text the picture to whomever you wish.
