Screenshot is a very popular method of sharing information from our smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer. This is how you take a screenshot of the content you have currently opened. And since the method is different for each type of device and operating system, with this article we will show you how to do it.

Screenshot of a smartphone and tablet with iOS operating system - iPhone and iPad

1. Press the power and menu buttons (Power and Home button) at the same time for one second.
2. The screen will turn white for a moment and you will hear the camera sound.
3. The screenshot you have already taken will appear in the lower left corner for a short time. You can then find it in the gallery of your iPhone or iPad (Photos), in the Screenshots folder, which is created automatically.

If you're using a newer iPhone, such as the X, XS, XS Max, XR, or iPhone 11 and 12, which don't have a home button, do the following:

1. Hold down the power button and the volume up button at the same time.
2. The next steps are similar.

How to take a screenshot of Android smartphones and tablets

For those of you who use phones and tablets from Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo or other brands it is just as easy.

1. Hold down the on / off and volume down buttons at the same time.
2. The screen will flash and you will hear a camera click.
3. The image is saved in Gallery, Screenshots folder.

Newer versions of Android also have so-called shortcuts and gestures, which makes it even easier to take a screenshot. This of course is up to the setting you need to make on your tablet or smartphone.

Because screenshots are images in their own right, they can be processed with photo editors. All smartphones and tablets have their own, and you can download more from the "stores" for the App Store and Google Play.
