6. Tap the Send button (green arrow) to send the screenshot.

Sending a Screenshot on Android Devices

Step 1: Take the Screenshot

1. Using Physical Buttons:
   • Press the Power button and the Volume Down button simultaneously.
   • Hold them for a moment until you see the screen flash or hear a camera shutter sound.
2. Using Gestures (If supported by your device):
   • On Samsung devices, swipe the side of your hand across the screen from right to left or left to right.
   • On Huawei devices, knock on the screen twice with your knuckle.
   The screenshot will be saved to your "Screenshots" album in the Photos or Gallery app.

Step 2: Send the Screenshot via Messages

1. Open the Gallery or Photos app and navigate to the "Screenshots" album.
2. Select the screenshot you wish to send.
3. Tap the Share icon (usually represented by three connected dots or an upward arrow).
4. Select "Messages" from the sharing options.
5. Enter the phone number 16415342729 in the recipient field.
6. Add a brief message if necessary (e.g., "Spam report").
7. Tap the Send button (paper plane icon) to send the screenshot.

Tips

• Multiple Screenshots: If you need to send multiple screenshots, repeat the process for each screenshot, or attach multiple images in a single message by selecting more than one screenshot in the Gallery or Photos app.
• Confirm Receipt: After sending, you may want to check your message history to ensure that the screenshots were sent successfully.

By following these steps, you can easily report spam by sending a screenshot to the designated phone number at TNID, helping us in the fight against unwanted communications.
