  • Is it possible .....??

    If I wanted to save a copy of what icons I have on my Computers Desktop,
    I could press "Print Screen" or similar and a 'picture' of my desktop
    would be saved somewhere.

    However, I've just had one of my sisters ring to say she's coming over tomorrow afternoon so I can show her how to take a photo/screenshot of
    her Mobile Phone's screen.

    Is this natively possible?? (Don't quote me but I think her phone is NOT
    an Iphone, if it matters.)

    (I'm thinking I'll take a photo of her Phone on my Phone and text it to
    her!)

    TIA

    On most android phones, press vol- and power simultaneously, if you want
    to get fancy newer android versions allow capturing an area larger or
    smaller than the actual screen (see icons like ^/v or a pencil that
    appear at the bottom)

    It matters, and also matters the exact model.

    You should ask in the specific group: comp.mobile.android or misc.phone.mobile.iphone.
