iPad - How to take a screenshot of the display

While doing developments for the iPad it is often a user will report an issue or make a request. I've found that asking them to take a screenshot an emailing it a very useful tool on the iPad. To take a screenshot just follow these steps.

  1. Press and hold down the home button, this is the button on the front of the iPad.
  2. Press the power button on the top, this will cause the screen to flash confirming the screenshot has been taken.
  3. Go into 'Photos' and you should see the image of the screenshot allowing you to email the image.
