Screenshot in Sony Ericsson Xperia active
How to take a screenshot or screen capture on a Xperia active
One essential feature of modern smartphones is the ability to take screenshots, capturing an image of what is currently displayed on your Sony Ericsson Xperia active's screen.
Although there are apps for this function, you don’t need to install any additional ones, as it’s already built into the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)| planned upgrade to 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) operating system.
Taking a screenshot allows you to save a WhatsApp conversation, a Tinder message, an Instagram story, a Facebook photo, or a video frame directly to your Sony Ericsson device's memory.
