screenshotting
Grabbing display image
Screenshotting is capturing an image of what's currently displayed on a screen.
The verb covers phones, computers, and other devices: She was screenshotting the conversation as evidence.
The word often implies preserving something before it disappears—a fleeting social media post, an embarrassing message, a price before it changes.
