Grab your iPhone and unlock it, then press the Home Button and Sleep / Wake Button at the same time, then let go immediately. An acoustic signal and a brief white flash should confirm that you have successfully captured a screenshot. The iOS operating system will automatically store screenshots in your Photos app, where you can view it if desired.
