### Share Screenshot

After choosing the **Share Screenshot** option, you will be able to pick from two styles of image.

After you choose your style, your device's share drawer will open allowing you to choose where to share the screenshot, e.g. messages, email, social media etc.

*Note that the options available in the share drawer will differ based on whether you are using an iOS or Android device.*
