Or that lovely dress you wish to order for that special someone in your life?<\/p>\n

Whatever it may be, you would need a screenshot for all of those actions mentioned above. It\u2019s pretty difficult storing several thousands of information in your head all at once\u2013 analog days are over so, wake up buddy!<\/p>\n

Usually, I keep swipe files for every of my screenshot and why is that? for easy access, if you ask. You may want to try that also, it\u2019s helpful.<\/p>\n

Just if you do not know how to take a screenshot yet, here is a detailed and duly written article to guide you through the process.<\/p>\n

For clarity’s sake, this article will be divided into two sections with the first section addressing the apple <\/b><\/strong>users and the second aspect for our Samsung<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0buddies.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

How to Take Screenshot on iPhone<\/b><\/strong>?<\/b><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Taking screenshots on iPhone is not a herculean task \u2013 it\u2019s as simple as eating that yummy slice of pizza. \u00a0The following steps below can be used to successfully screenshot and save an image on your iPhone;<\/p>\n

How to take screenshot on iPhone with face ID<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Step 1<\/b><\/strong>: notice the side button and the volume up<\/b><\/strong> button and press at the same time to take a screenshot.<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/b><\/strong>: A glance at the lower-left corner of your screen, you would find the thumbnail of your recently taken screenshot there temporarily.<\/p>\n

Step 3<\/b><\/strong>: a quick tap on the image will enlarge the image for a larger view. At the top-most right corner, there are action icons listed in which you can either share the image screenshot, delete it or perform other actions.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Also, you will find some tools for editing below to enable you to include highlights or mark it up. At the lower right corner, you will see a plus sign, select this sign to add text, signature, arrows or many shapes.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Once you are done with editing, at the upper left corner, you will find the \u201cdone\u201d icon, click on it. You can choose to either save the image to photos or file. And if you wish, you can decide to get rid of it by deleting it.<\/p>\n

iPhone models with Touch ID and side button<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Although the steps are quite similar to the iPhone models with face ID, the only differing factor is seen in its first step;<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/b><\/strong>: For buddies whose iPhone has a home button<\/b><\/strong>, do this instead: locate the side button and press simultaneously with the home button and quickly release both buttons to take a screenshot.<\/p>\n

To avoid repetition, follow Step 2 and 3 above.<\/p>\n

iPhone models with Touch ID and top button<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

In like manner, the steps are the same except the first step.<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/b><\/strong>: Press the top button and home button simultaneously and quickly release both buttons to take screenshot.<\/p>\n

Step 2 and 3 are pretty the same as seen above.<\/p>\n

Screenshot location<\/p>\n

Navigate your apps, find the \u201cphotos app\u201d and click on it to open. Go to albums, then click screenshot.<\/p>\n

Photos > albums > screenshots<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

How to Take Screenshot on Samsung?<\/b><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

By using keys<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

By pressing the home button<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0and the power\/lock<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0button at the same time, you can take screenshots. In turn, the screenshots taken will be copied to your clipboard and then saved to the screenshot folder in your gallery.<\/p>\n

By using motion gesture <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

On every Samsung device, there exist a \u201cpalm swipe to capture screenshot<\/b><\/strong>\u201d gesture. To enable or disable this feature: from the home screen on your phone, select the menu, then go to settings and proceed to click \u201cmy device\u201d, click on motions and gesture then tap palm motion.<\/p>\n

Home screen > menu > settings > my device > motions and gestures > palm motion<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important to note that the settings menu type may be set to list view. In order to switch to tab view, from the settings menu, select the menu and click \u201cswitch to tab view.\u201d<\/p>\n

Settings > menu > switch to tab view<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

To enable the palm motion, toggle on the slider, it will turn the palm motion on immediately and vice versa to turn off the slider.<\/p>\n

Also, you can take a screenshot by touching the screen with the side of your palm and taking swipe across the screen from left to right or the other way around.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have your screenshot copied to your clipboard and then saved to the screenshot folder in your gallery.<\/p>\n

\"Take<\/p>\n

To view screenshots <\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you wish to view your screenshot as soon as it was taken, then do the following: swipe from top to bottom of your screen to open the notification bar, then tap on screenshot captured to view it.<\/p>\n

On the flip side, if you choose to view your screenshot at a later time, follow the simple procedure below;<\/p>\n

From your home screen, click on apps<\/b><\/strong>, then select app icon, gallery<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0then select screenshots<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you will find your screenshots there, just click on the one you wish to view.<\/p>\n

However, there is an additional way to take screenshot on a particular Samsung model \u2013 Samsung galaxy by voice input<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n

Using Bixby voice<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

To take a screenshot, press the Bixby key which is just below the volume buttons. If your device has been earlier configured, you can speak directly<\/p>\n

Once, voice interface has been activated, just say the word \u2013 take a screenshot<\/b><\/strong>. Voila! It\u2019s taken already.<\/p>\n

On the whole, taking screenshots is easier than imagined. Experiment by taking one asap \u2013 it isn\u2019t rocket science after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
