Taking screenshots on your smartphone or tablet is quite easy. If you have an iPad, iPod, iPhone, Windows Phone handset or an Android device running version 4.0 or newer, just hold the power button and then press the home button. It's the same on all three platforms, and automatically saves a shot of the entire screen, no matter what app you're running.
If you're running an older version of Android, then it might not be possible to easily take a screenshot. In case you do have an older Android, then the method varied, depending on the manufacturer. There are two tricks you can try.
1. Hold the power button for a few seconds. A message popup should appear with the options to "Power Off the device", "Restart the device" and "Take a Screenshot"
In case this does not work, try this instead:
2. Hold the power button down, and then press the Volume Down button. This was common in many Sony Ericsson Xperia and Samsung Galaxy phones.
BlackBerry 10 smartphone users can take a screenshot by pressing both volume buttons together. It doesn't matter what order you press them in, and the screenshot is taken as soon as both buttons are pressed.
In case you're using a Symbian phone and want to take a screenshot, then you can try out Screenshot for Symbian OS. This is a free open source project that has a lot of positive feedback online, and you can find the installer files here.
