With the iPhone OS 2.0 and up, you can easily take a screenshot of your iPhone screen without downloading an app.<\/p>\n

Here’s how:
\n<\/p>\n

Step 1: Go to the page of the app that you want to take a screenshot (picture) of.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Hold down your home button (the big round button at the bottom front of your phone), and press and release the sleep button at the top right of your phone (the button you use to put it to sleep and to turn the iPhone completely off). The screen will flash white for a second and then go back to normal. The picture that you just took of your screen will then be added to your camera roll in your “Pictures.”<\/p>\n

Step 3: Go to your Photos app and click on “Camera Roll.” You will then see the pic you just took of the screen of your phone.<\/p>\n

See…here’s my home screen:<\/p>\n
