How to take screenshots on your iPhone

Did you know you can take screenshots of your iPhone? Taking a screenshot is pretty easy to do. All that you have to do is simultaneously press the Lock button (on the top-right, sometimes referred to as the Sleep/Wake button) and the Home button. You’ll see the entire screen flash white and hear a camera shutter sound indicating that you’ve successfully taken a shot.

But where is it? The iPhone doesn’t have a desktop or a clipboard for the shot to be placed on. Press your Home button and select the Photos application. You’ll find your screenshots in the Camera Roll photo album.

So, what can you do with it? Well, the next time you synchronize your iPhone, you’ll be able to transfer your screenshot to your computer just like you can with normal photos you’ve taken while out and about. But, you can also use it from within some of your iPhone’s applications like Twitterrific so you can your upload images to Twitter.
