Take Screenshots on Your Apple Watch
You don’t have to take a picture of your Apple Watch’s display with your iPhone to show your daily progress on your rings. Instead, you can just take a screenshot directly from your Apple Watch.
First, you need to enable this feature. To do this, grab your iPhone and:
- Open the Watch app.
- Select General.
- Scroll down to the bottom and toggle Enable Screenshots.
You can also do this by heading into the Settings app on your Apple Watch. Look for the option under General > Screenshots.
In either case, once you’ve enabled the setting, all you need to do to capture a screenshot is press the Side button and the Digital Crown at the same time.
You’ll know you took a screenshot because you’ll feel haptic feedback on your wrist and your Apple Watch screen will flash. Just like on the iPhone, your screenshots will be saved in your photo library in your iPhone’s Photos app.
A note of caution, though: The Apple Watch uses the same two-button gesture for pausing and resuming workouts. This means if you take a screenshot of your workout status, you’ll also pause your workout at the same time, so make sure you manually resume it afterward.
