Need to take a screenshot of your smartphone or tablet? Here’s how:
Android (4.x): Press the power button and volume down button at the same time. (On earlier versions of Android do not have this feature built in.)
iOS: Press the power button and home buttons at the same time.
Blackberry 10: Pres both volume up and volume down at the same time.
In each case you may need to wait a few seconds before the screenshot happens. Once successful, the image should be saves to your photo library/gallery.
