How to Take a Screenshot With an iPhone: 6 Steps (with Pictures)

If you want to know how to take a screenshot with your iPhone, just follow these easy steps.
STEPS

1

TURN ON YOUR IPHONE. Just hold down the button on the top right of the phone and wait for the white Apple logo to appear.

2

FIND THE IMAGE YOU WANT TO CAPTURE. You can choose any image from your email, photos, home screen, or from anything you find online.

3

FIND YOUR SLEEP/WAKE BUTTON. This is the button on the top right of your phone. It's the button you use to turn your phone on and off.

4

FIND YOUR HOME BUTTON. Your home button is the round button centered on the bottom of your iPhone. It has a picture of a white square in the center.

5

HOLD DOWN THE SLEEP/WAKE AND HOME BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME AND RELEASE THEM. If you were able to take a screenshot, then you should hear a camera shutter sound and see a white screen.[1]
You only need to hold the two buttons down for one second for this to work.
You don't have to release the buttons at the exact same time.

6

CHECK YOUR CAMERA ROLL TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU CAPTURED THE IMAGE. To find your Camera Roll, simply click on the "Photos" application on your home screen. Then click on "Camera Roll," which should be listed as your first album. Your screenshot should be the last image in this album.
If you weren't able to take the screenshot, try to do it again and hold down the buttons for a second longer this time.
TIPS
Your screenshot image will now be in the photo in the Camera Roll (Saved Photos, in iPod touch 1G, 2G, 3G, iPad 1).
Your image will also be synced to your computer the next time you sync.
You can take a screen shot with any version of the iPhone except the first.
