FAQs

1. Where Do My Screenshots Go?

Suppose you have taken a few screenshots of the home screen. There are also your game high scores, text message threads, and other things. Where do they all go?

In most cases, you can find them in the photo gallery. Some phones have independent folders for screenshots. That is convenient since you will not mix them up with regular pictures!

It is easy to choose screenshots to share through social media. You can also use it as a message attachment, email, or Reddit post. Any other purpose is possible as well!

2. How Can I Back Up My Screenshots?

Some people say that a screenshot is not as valuable as regular pictures. But that is far from the truth! Sometimes, it contains important data that needs some backup.

You may back them up in physical devices, such as microSD cards. Other possible alternatives include USB drives or clouds.

Still, our first pick is Google Photos, the easiest method! Google Photo can handle all your phone photos.

Suppose you have just created one screenshot folder. Photos will ask whether you like to back up newer photos of that folder. Click Yes. So every time you make screenshots, Google Photos will store them safe and sound!

Clear Every Open App

Kickstart the troubleshooting by closing every open app on your phone. How can you do that?

First, open the screen of "Recent apps". There will be a "Close All" button. Tap that button!

Another way is to swipe through the apps to shut them off. This move will clear and close all your open apps. Once done, try to take a screenshot again.

Restart Your Phone

The first tip does not work for you? Then try to restart the phone. Sometimes, a phone service might interrupt your screenshot functionality. Hence, restarting your phone might fix that issue.

Switch off The Incognito Mode

Have you tried to take screenshots from Incognito Mode on Chrome? If that's the case, no wonder you have failed! Google has banned screenshot capturing from Incognito Mode.

Thus, the solution is simple. Exit Incognito Mode and turn to the website's normal mode. Try to take screenshots again.
