Screenshot Capture

Capture exactly what is on the target phone's screen — on demand or at intervals — and review the images neatly in your dashboard.

Sometimes a list of activity is not enough and you simply want to see the screen itself. Screenshot capture lets you do exactly that: it takes images of what is displayed on the target device and delivers them to your dashboard. Whether captured on demand or at set intervals, screenshots show you the real thing — the actual chat, the actual app, the actual screen — rather than a summary of it.

This makes screenshot capture an excellent catch-all, especially for apps and activity that no dedicated tracker fully covers. A new app with no specific feature, an unusual game, a screen of content you want to see for yourself — a screenshot captures it as it appeared. For parents and businesses alike, there is a reassuring clarity in seeing the screen directly rather than interpreting a log.

The feature is the still-image counterpart to live screen streaming and the screen recorder. Streaming shows the screen live, the recorder captures activity over time, and screenshot capture gives you clear individual snapshots. Together they offer flexible ways to see a screen, from a single image to a continuous view.

Getting more from Screenshots

Screenshots are organised in your dashboard with timestamps, so you can browse them like a gallery and understand the sequence of what was on screen. For activity that is hard to capture any other way — content in a brand-new app, or a fleeting screen you want a record of — a screenshot is often the clearest possible evidence of what was happening.

Where a dedicated tracker exists, such as for messages or WhatsApp, those give you cleaner, searchable data; screenshot capture is best for everywhere else and for moments you want to see verbatim. Paired with the keylogger, you get both the text typed and the screen it appeared on, a powerful combination for full context.

Heads up: exact capabilities can vary by device and operating system. Our 24/7 support team can confirm what is available for a specific phone before you buy.
