Occasionally you may need to take a screenshot of something on the screen of your phone.
This feature has been included in iOS for a while, but it’s only just come to the Android with Ice Cream Sandwich.
To take a screenshot, there are a few different methods. The first is to open the power menu and then choose the “screenshot” button, or simply hold down the volume key and press the power button at the same time.
You can also press the power and home buttons at the same time to take a screenshot.
To access them, you’ll need to head to your photo library, where you can treat them as any normal image.
