How do I take a screenshot on my phone or computer?
Each device has a simple shortcut: key combinations on computers and button combinations on phones.
Every major device has a built-in screenshot shortcut. The exact buttons depend on your device and software version.
Screenshots are usually saved automatically to a folder or photo gallery.

Press Windows key + Shift + S to select an area, or Print Screen to capture the whole screen.
Mac
Press Shift + Command + 3 for the full screen, Shift + Command + 4 to select an area, or Shift + Command + 5 for more options.
