iPhone screenshot

As a member of Brightkite, I’ve seen some iPhone screenshots that I’ve usually just looked at but never thought about taking any myself. Anyway, it’s quite simple.

  1. Navigate to where you want to take a screenshot.
  2. Hold down the home button, and then press the on/off button.
  3. The screen will flash after the photo is taken.
  4. Navigate to the “Camera Roll” gallery and the screenshot will be there.
  5. You’re done!

Simple as cake eh? By the way, this would be a funny little prank to pull on someone when they’re not looking. Just take a screenshot of their home screen and tell them that their icons aren’t working and hand over their phone.
