Is it possible to somehow trigger a screenshot to be taken on the app? I want the user to save an image of whats shown on the app by clicking a button. ---

Thanks, but I need to add an action to allow the user to take a screenshot by clicking a button (i.e. if they are not technical enough to know how to take a screenshot manually on their phone). ---

So you want action in your button to screenshot your app? ---

Yes, exactly that. I want to trigger a screenshot of the app, while a user is using it. This could be by pressing a button. ---

As of now, Adalo doesn’t have any internal way to make this working, but if you used any API it may allow it to work, as if now I searched whole internet finding great API for your needs but all I found aren’t compactable with Adalo, so I may be wrong here just wait if any other person has response. ---

Thanks for your effort 🙂 Maybe this is just not possible. ---

Hi Andrius, Using a API is not possible. Also, this is not natively possible within Adalo. You could add it as a feature request or create a component for it (ask @Michael or other people to make it for you) if it’s possible. > **[Adalo Feedback](https://adalo.canny.io/)** > > Give feedback to the Adalo team so we can make more informed product decisions.
