I can’t take screenshot with my Lava iris 870. Please, someone help me……
I was struggling to take a screenshot of my whatsapp chat with my friend on Lava Android phone I own. Finally found a way here. Thank you for sharing it.
Remember, you have to press the volume and power button at the same time, and hold them for few seconds, not release them immediately. This is the mistake many made and fails to take screenshot. I too made this mistake in starting but then I read carefully and found what I’m doing wrong. Now I’m taking screenshots very easily.
