Greetings Tankers!

 

Being slightly new to the mobile scene I had the question of "How do I so a screen capture on my iPhone?" Well after Alo8ight enlightened me, I thought that it would be a nice to have a simple how-to posted so that the newer ranks would have a reference!

 

For both iOS and Android it is fairly simple:

 

iOS

Press the On/Off and Home Buttons to capture a screenshot. You will hear a camera shutter sound and see the screen flicker white for a brief moment.

 

 

Android

Press the Power Button and the Home Button at the exact same time, and hold them until you hear the cameral shutter sound and see the and see a white boarder appear on the screen for a brief moment.

• On some Android devices you hold down the Power and Volume Down buttons instead of the Home Button. 
  • Credit to IgniteTheFire for pointing this out - thanks!

If you have "soft keys", like the LG G2,  and no hardware keys.. It is the power key and volume down key.

So on a related note to take a screen shot on the new nexus 5X and nexus 6p you need to hold down the power and volume down buttons, totally different then other Android devices.

A litte late for the OP, but

 

"command-shift-3" for entire screen shot

 

"command-shift-4" to select the screen area you want

 

hold down keys at same time
