Protip: Screenshots on the iPhone

December 16th, 2009 Harry Leave a comment Go to comments

If you’ve ever wanted to share that glorious moment of beating a game, or crushing your friends’ high score, or show a friend a new app you downloaded without having them buy it first, then maybe you’ve needed to take a screenshot on your iPhone.

Below is an example of a screenshot of my home page:

So you’re probably asking yourself, well how do I take a damn screenshot already!? Simple, just press the home button and the lock button at the same time (just press and release, no holding) anywhere you want and the image will show up in your camera roll.

I’ve only tested this on my 3Gs (OS 3.1.2), so I have no idea if it works on the other versions. Let me know if you’ve tested it on others and I’ll update my post.

Link your favorite screenshot in the comments below!
