How to take screenshots on an Apple Watch

Did you know you can take screenshots on your Apple Watch? You can; here’s how using the Digital Crown and the side button.

° Open the Watch app on your iPhone.

° Tap the My Watch tab, then tap General. 

° Scroll down, then turn on Enable Screenshots.

°You can also do this on your Apple Watch:

° Open the Settings app on your Apple Watch.

° Tap General, then tap Screenshots.

° Turn on Enable Screenshots.

° With two fingers, press the Digital Crown and the side button at the same time. The screen flashes when you take a screenshot.  

° To find your screenshot, go to the Photos app on your iPhone, tap the Albums tab, then tap Screenshots.

(This how-to is based on my experiences and info on Apple’s support pages — where the images sometimes come from.)
