Taking a phone screenshot

Have you ever been in the situation where you need to take a screenshot of what is happening on your phone and not known how to do it? Yeah, pick me too.

So this week I decided that I had better learn how to do it. And - like most things - once you know how it is really easy.

For a Samsung, all you do is hold both the home button and the power button at the same time. The home button is the higher one on the left-hand side, and the power button is on the right. Hold them both, then you will either hear a click and notice that the phone screen appears to freeze, or you will just notice the freeze.

The reason for the freeze is that the screenshot of your phone is now what is showing. Tap the image, and decide if you want to delete the image or share it with some other software. I simply shared with Google Photos and uploaded it.

Quite easy, really!
