Taking a screen shot on your phone/tablet

Whilst developing application for phones and/or tablets we might like to take some screenshots of a “live” application, as opposed to one within an emulator etc.

To take a screenshot we simply do the following.

  • Android – hold the power button and volume down button for a second.
  • iOS – press the home button and the power button
  • Windows 10 mobile – hold the power button and volume up button
