Computer Repair Sacramento CA – Jonathan Warner Knowledge Base: How to do an iPhone screenshot or iPhone screen capture using only the built-in IOS functionality and no 3rd party apps!
iPhone Screenshot – iPhone Screen Capture
Capturing your iPhone’s display is quite simple and easy. In fact, the only requirement is running iPhone software verion 2.x or greater. Find iPhone software version at: Settings – General – About – Version.
Here’s the trick:
- Press and hold the Home button on the front of your iPhone.
- Quickly press and release the Power button on the top of your iPhone.
- If done correctly, the screen will quickly flash white. The screenshot can be found in your Camera Roll. (Camera – Camera Roll button on lower left of the screen.)
- (it’s actually not necessary to press and hold the Home button. You just must press both simultaneously and quickly. Holding the Home button just makes it a little easier. Try it! Can you take a screenshot both ways?)
The iPhone screenshot is a high-quality .jpg image file. To get the screenshot from your iPhone to your computer, either sync your iPhone with iTunes or email it to yourself.
