You can take a screenshot on your iPad, it is easy to do, and it is built right into iOS. With the touch of few buttons anything you see on the display can be saved right to your device. Follow the simple steps below.
- You got a Home button at the bottom and Sleep / Wake button on the top your device.
- Hold both of them together to take a screenshot.
- By holding them you can hear the Camera sound and see the screen go white for a second. Now your screen is captured; thats all.
- If you have trouble getting the timing just right, simply hold down one button for a second and, while holding it down, quickly click the other. For example, hold down the Sleep/Wake button and quickly click the Home button (or vice versa).
How to find your iPad screenshots
Start your Photos app and go either to the Photos tab at the top or to your Photo Stream if it is turned on in iCloud. You will see your images right at the bottom. You can also start up your Camera app and touch the Camera Roll at the bottom left to see your screenshots.
How to use and share your iPad screenshots
- iPad screenshots behave just like any other photo. You can Edit your photo, Email it, send in via iMessage, assign it to a Contact, Use it as Wallpaper, or Tweet it.
- If you were in the Facebook app, you can also upload it to show the world your new high score or whatever it is you captured on your screen.
- Capturing your screen is easy, fun and a great way to quickly share what you are looking at on your iPad with others.
Note: The same techniques on the article above will work on both iPad 2 and Original iPad.
