As I look through my photos from time to time I notice a bunch of accidental screen shots from my iPhone or Apple watch. I have not had any real occasion to use screen shots from my iPhone but in writing up the article above I needed some to illustrate so I wanted to show you how to do it. That way maybe you, too, can avoid taking unintentional screen shots and do really good intentional ones.
It is really simple. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top or side of your iPhone and then immediately press and release the Home button. You will see the screen flash or hear the shutter click and then you will find your screen shot in the Photos app.
