Dear mobile device users,

If you find a photo while surfing the web/instagram/FB with your phone that you wish to share, it is possible to save most photos to your device. Some users are not aware of this, and take screenshots. Sometimes I wish they wouldn't.

If you happen to resort to a screen shot, it is possible to crop out the rest of the screen and leave the image behind. (status bar with battery life and signal strength, black sidebars, etc...

However, if you choose to do neither of these FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, please orientate your device so the image you are trying to share takes up most of the screen.

Just because it lets you do it, it doesn't' mean you should.

The reason I will screenshot in "fail" mode or portrait is cause its perfectly cropped for instagram use. Other than that I just save the image.

I hate seeing screenshots of facebook on facebook...

Does it work with computers too or just those fancy pants phones. I did find this, apparently it's a widespread problem

I would have replied sooner, but it took me forever to find the "reply" icon. I can't tell where my reply ends, and yours begins.

What have we done?

I can tell from this screenshot that you are using a Verizon HTC One :D

Orientate?

I believe the verb you're looking for is "orient".

But you're right.

Screenshot of me taking a photo of a screen displaying a screenshot of a comment.

Apologies for even opening the camera app on an iPad, I know, it's awful.

Clearly, if you are working with a dinosaur-like "computer" (hardee-har-har), you don't deserve to be sharing anything on the internet. :P

Any experience with tapatalk? Seems that this problem often happens with uploads from this mobile app.
