How to take a screenshot on Apple Watch and where to find your screenshots

• To take a screenshot on your Apple Watch, press the Digital Crown and the side button at the same time.
• First, you need to enable screenshots in the Watch app for iPhone or in the Settings app on your Apple Watch.
• Just like iPhone screenshots, Apple Watch screenshots are saved to your Camera Roll and in the Screenshots folder of the Photos app.

Just like any other Apple device with a screen, you can take a screenshot on your Apple Watch. But before you do, you'll need to enable the feature either on the Watch app for iPhone or in the Settings app on your Apple Watch.

After screenshots are enabled, all you have to do is press the Digital Crown and side button at the same time to take a screenshot. From there, go into your Camera Roll or the Screenshots folder in the Photos app to view your screenshots.

How to take a screenshot on an Apple Watch

Using two fingers, press the Digital Crown and the side button simultaneously. You'll know the screenshot was taken if you see the screen flash or if you hear a shutter sound (if you have sound enabled on your Apple Watch).

Where to find your Apple Watch screenshots

1. Open the Camera app. Tap the box in the bottom-left corner showing a preview of your most recent photo. This will open your Camera Roll. If you just took the screenshot, it should be the most recent photo.

2. Alternatively, open the Photos app. On the Albums tab, scroll down to the bottom. Tap Screenshots.
