Hello Bloggy friends,
It will not help you become a domestic goddess, and the pics don’t even register on the cute ‘n fluffy scale. BUT! If you make a deadly move in Words With Friends, you can record it for posterity. 
See the round button with the square in the middle? The one that allows you to exit an app? You need to press it simultaneously with the power button on the top of your phone.
There will be a bit of a flash, an I’m-taking-a-photo type sound, and….. Voila! You’ve taken a screen shot.
Exit your app, head into “Photos”, and there it will be, waiting patiently for you in your camera roll. If you want to send it to someone, press the arrow coming out of a box in the extreme lower left hand corner of your screen. It will bring up options to email or mms or use as wall paper on your phone…
Go, bloggy friends! Record all the important happenings on your iPhone with joy.

Will pass that on to my hubby who posted a score of 155 the other day…..it was a very proud moment that should have been shared!!!
Jul 18, 2011 @ 20:48:22
155!!
Oh, I stand in awe.
132 is my best to date.
I also use the screen shots on my finished games list so that when I’ve played someone good, I can rematch later without the risk of them dropping off my list in the mean time.
155…
He’s a legend!

Oh my goodness! I am shocked! Gobsmacked!
MY dear friend Mrs. BB has posted a technological tutorial on the Internet. I am proud.
Keep up the good work.
Love ya,
Susan

I’m laughing! You funny dear!
It’s that when someone plays a killer word against me, and I ask them if they have taken a screenshot, the responses keep coming ‘How do I do that?” or, “Do I need an app for that?”
So you see, it is such a novelty for me to share my (oh-so-limited) techo knowledge with the world that I have to take the rare opportunities when they present.

hehehe….

Share away! I love it! (Even more so because I just can’t get *into* that particular game (shock! horror!)
Jul 18, 2011 @ 22:31:55
Oh! Now I’m shocked!
You don’t like it? I adore it.
Mr BB is not partial to it either, and would rather play chess.
You really don’t like it?!
(walks away shaking head.. good thing Our Susan has so many other fine qualities… can’t believe she doesn’t live to play WWF…)

Ummm, is it terrible to admit the phone I own is still of the “dumb” variety???
Jul 19, 2011 @ 06:59:53
Not at all.
When it comes to technology confessions, you are safe with me, Whitney. (As you may have caught a hint of from Susan’s comment
)
Mr BB tried years ago to buy me an iPhone, but I didn’t want one (hadn’t played WWF then, lol!) I don’t, as a rule, care that much for having the latest new gadget. Both my computer and my phone have capabilities that are wasted on me, and although I’m grateful for them, if it weren’t for Mr BB, and my last phone dying (notice that comma; Mr BB is alive and well, it is only my phone that died) I would be happily using my no-WWF-no-internet old phone.

Oh, Mrs. BB! You will never believe who has obtained an intelligent phone! YES!!!
I have determined the purpose of smart phones is to make up for the brain cells that have been lost while raising small children. The brain may one day regenerate, but until then, my iPhone will fill in the gap.
Aug 09, 2011 @ 17:55:04
Hey, Whitney!
Congratulations on your new toy!
They really so have some cool capabilities. I don’t know what I did before I had mine.
Now, take a lesson from poor Fee, and keep that baby away from the toilet.
Jul 21, 2011 @ 01:07:16
Have always wondered how people do screen shots … now I know. Sadly I cannot experiment on my own phone because it came to a sad end … in a toilet! Sob. I’m “making do” with an HTC until I can get a new iPhone on contract – NEXT YEAR!!! Sob, sob. At least I am comforted by the fact that my friends are enjoying their iPhones.
Love (HTC) Fee x
Jul 25, 2011 @ 10:47:18
Fee, you poor love. In a toilet? I am tempted to ask, but really, some things are perhaps better left to imagining..
hehehe…
Next year! Then you can play WWF with me
Aug 18, 2011 @ 01:47:31
This just in … my iPhone has been raised from the dead, now to be called Lazarus! Yippee. Kids thought I was completely NUTS – dancing around because my phone is ALIVE. Heeeee.
Aug 18, 2011 @ 11:38:23
Whoo Hoo!!!
Good news, Fee.
Now, I’m still not asking, but…
You won’t take it… ah… to any wet areas, will you?
xx
Aug 20, 2011 @ 16:42:41
Ha ha – no, I’m sure that it will be safely kept away from “moisture” at all costs. It seems it might need a few touch-ups to get it back to speed – currently it doesn’t actually ring (although when you check the level of sound in settings it’s fine??!!) and the main button which one presses to leave a screen is also temperamental – so a trip to the iPhone doctor will be well worth it I’m sure. I surely have missed it! Fee x
Aug 20, 2011 @ 16:43:59
p.s. I’m visiting your blog several times a day to see if the “rag” post has appeared – that could be a slight exaggeration – but I’m anxious to hear about the BB household experiences with the nastiness of obtaining curly hair!
Aug 20, 2011 @ 23:05:35
p.s.s. Just became a member on Words with Friends … oh dear … feel a new addiction coming on! I’ve just started a game with you … am sure you will recognise me by my regal user name!
Jul 22, 2011 @ 15:12:26
Hello Mrs. BB. You can also do those screen shots on a Ipod Touch.
It is lots of fun to do.
Blessings,
Meggie
Jul 25, 2011 @ 10:49:49
Thanks for sharing your tip, Meggie. I don’t actually get close enough to our ipod to experiment with it. I will pass that on to those who
hog, ah.. use it most.Aug 21, 2011 @ 23:04:08
Ooooh! There was a game with a certain regal personage waiting for me this morning.
And you’ll be pleased to know I have been slaving over my computer (between games
) to prepare that post for your perusal.
Won’t be long.
Aug 21, 2011 @ 23:14:06
Ha – unfortunately the blasted iPhone has issues “think I need a new main button thingy” – so I hope you will forgive me if I don’t finish the game – you was whupping me anyhows!!!! Hopefully back on track later in the week once I get it fixed.
Aug 22, 2011 @ 19:15:35
Hope it makes a full recovery.
As to that game… early days! Lots of time to catch me.
Apr 14, 2012 @ 18:47:11
Is it possible to do that without the top button? If so how?
Apr 14, 2012 @ 20:04:04
Hello Rachelle,
I’m sorry I can’t help you, I don’t know another way to do it. Good luck with finding one, though!
