2. Open the Photo Gallery.

3. If your screenshot doesn't appear in your main photo gallery, it may have been saved to a folder or album named "Screenshots" or something similar. The specifics vary from device to device.

Once you've located a screenshot in your photo gallery, you can return to it as many times as you like (unless you delete the screenshot). You can also share the screenshot via any messaging app that supports image sharing.
