Screenshots are useful for capturing a text message thread in an image, requesting help with software bugs, and more.
On a PC
The Print Screen keyboard button saves an image of your screen to the clipboard (computer’s shortterm memory). Open any graphics programme, such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint, and hit Ctrl+V to retrieve and save the screenshot. More options: bit.ly/scnsht
On a Mac
There are at least four ways to snap your screen. A full or partial screenshot can be saved directly into a folder or copied from the clipboard. You can customise keyboard shortcuts for each method. More options: bit.ly/macshots
On your phone
This depends on your smartphone model. iPhones and many Android phones take a screenshot when the sleep and home buttons are pressed at the same time. Be sure to wait for a shutter sound, which indicates that a screen shot has been saved.
