If you've got to get that screengrab, you've got options. Screenshot utility Mac screenshot Credit: cottonbro / pexels Whether you want to save your receipts or share a bizarre targeted ad with the group text, there are a handful of reasons you might need to take a screenshot of your Mac desktop. And the good news is, Apple makes it relatively easy to get that screengrab, with plenty of straightforward options. Total Time 1 min What You Need MacOS Step 1: Step 1 If you need to take a screenshot of your entire screen, simply hit the command, shift, and number 3 keys simultaneously. Your Mac will capture a shot of your entire screen and save it to your desktop. Step 2: Step 2 Want to take a screenshot of a specific area of your screen instead? Hit the command, shift, and number 4 keys simultaneously. A crosshair cursor will appear, allowing you to drag and select the portion of your Mac screen you want to grab. You can reposition the selection window by holding down the spacebar key. Alternatively, hold down the shift key to lock in the sides of the selection area while being able to position the selection window from one side only. Step 3: Step 3 Let go of the cursor and Mac will automatically take a screenshot of that selected area. Here’s a simple guide for getting the job done.

Hit the command, shift, and number 5 keys simultaneously. At the bottom of your screen, you’ll see the Screenshot control bar. You have options for grabbing a still screenshot and for recording a video. Choose whether you want to “Capture Entire Screen,” “Capture Selected Window,” or “Capture Selected Portion.” Credit: screenshot: kristin wong Click on “Options” to see what other preferences you can choose. You can set a countdown timer, decide where to save your screenshot, and choose whether you want to show the mouse cursor in your screenshot. Credit: screenshot: kristin wong Hit the “Capture” button to take the screenshot. Editing your screenshot Whether you take your screenshot with keyboard shortcuts or the Screenshot app, once you grab your screenshot, a thumbnail will appear in the bottom right of your screen. If you right click or do nothing, the thumbnail will simply save your screenshot. Credit: screenshot: kristin wong If you click the thumbnail, you’ll be able to edit the screenshot from a new window. You can also access this window by clicking on the screenshot icon where it’s saved and hitting the spacebar. Then, click on the pen icon on the top right of the menu. Credit: screenshot: kristin wong Once you hit the pen icon, from the top menu bar, you’ll see a number of options for editing, including adding text, rotating, and annotating. Make your desired changes, if any, then hit the “Done” button. Your changes will automatically be saved. Credit: screenshot: kristin wong Screenshot using the Touch Bar If you have a MacBook Pro that’s equipped with a Touch Bar, you can take a screenshot using that, too. It will require making some tweaks to your System Preferences, but if you’re regularly taking screenshots, it’s worth the extra effort. Open System Preferences and navigate to Keyboard. Hit the “Customize Control Strip” button. You’ll see a list of features you can drag and drop onto the Touch Bar Control Strip. Find the “Screenshot” button and drag it to the Touch Bar. You’ll see the screenshot option appear in the Control Strip. You can now take a screenshot by tapping on this icon from the Touch Bar. The screenshot will be saved to your Desktop.

Credit: Matthias Balk / Contributor / picture alliance via Getty Images Meta is pulling its end-to-end encryption option on Instagram DMs. The company announced the change in an update to its support page and via alerts to users in the app, writing: End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026. If you have chats that are impacted by this change, you will see instructions on how you can download any media or messages you may want to keep. If you're on an older version of Instagram, you may also need to update the app before you can download your affected chats. Meta spokesperson Dina El-Kassaby Luce told The Verge that the company was discontinuing the feature because "very few people" were using it. With end-to-end encryption enabled for both users, DMs and calls aren't visible to outside actors, including Meta, unless they're shared. Meta and other tech leaders have come under fire for turning over user communications to outside entities, including law enforcement. But they have also received flak for offering end-to-end encryption to users across the board, with some critics saying that the feature enables child predators to target and communicate with minors undetected. TikTok, for example, does not offer end-to-end encryption for user DMs and explained to the BBC that the decision is the result of numerous safety considerations. The company told the outlet that providing law enforcement and internal training teams with chat data keeps users safe. For users who still want end-to-end encryption, Meta's spokesperson says to turn to WhatsApp — but the Meta-owned messaging service isn't entirely safe from intrusions , either. Meta says end-to-end encryption will still be available on Messenger.

Credit: Matthias Balk / Contributor / picture alliance via Getty Images *** [Meta](https://mashable.com/category/meta) is pulling its [end-to-end encryption](https://mashable.com/article/what-is-end-to-end-encryption-e2e) option on Instagram DMs. The company announced the change in an [update to its support page](https://help.instagram.com/491565145294150/?helpref=uf_share "(opens in a new window)") and via alerts to users in the app, writing: > End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026. > > If you have chats that are impacted by this change, you will see instructions on how you can download any media or messages you may want to keep. > > If you're on an older version of Instagram, you may also need to update the app before you can download your affected chats. Meta spokesperson Dina El-Kassaby Luce told [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/894752/instagram-end-to-end-encryption "(opens in a new window)") that the company was discontinuing the feature because "very few people" were using it. With end-to-end encryption enabled for both users, DMs and calls aren't visible to outside actors, including Meta, unless they're shared. SEE ALSO: [Child safety group blasts YouTube for million dollar gamble on AI content for kids](https://mashable.com/article/google-youtube-animaji-ai-kids-videos) Meta and other tech leaders have come under fire for turning over user communications to outside entities, including law enforcement. But they have also received flak for offering end-to-end encryption to users across the board, with some critics saying that the feature enables child predators to target and communicate with minors undetected. TikTok, for example, [does not offer end-to-end encryption](https://mashable.com/article/tiktok-encryption-dms) for user DMs and explained to the BBC that the decision is the result of numerous safety considerations. The company told the outlet that providing law enforcement and internal training teams with chat data keeps users safe. *** Related Stories *** - [Meta rolls out Facebook scam warnings](https://mashable.com/article/meta-rolls-out-scam-protection-warnings-to-facebook-instagram) - [Meta can read your WhatsApp messages, lawsuit alleges](https://mashable.com/article/meta-read-whatsapp-messages-privacy-lawsuit) - [Instagram to alert parents when teens search for suicide](https://mashable.com/article/instagram-teen-suicide-parent-warnings) - [The top 10 most-followed Instagram accounts](https://mashable.com/article/most-followed-instagram-accounts) For users who still want end-to-end encryption, Meta's spokesperson says to turn to WhatsApp — but the Meta-owned messaging service isn't [entirely safe from intrusions](https://mashable.com/article/meta-read-whatsapp-messages-privacy-lawsuit), either.

Credit: Matthias Balk / Contributor / picture alliance via Getty Images [Meta](https://mashable.com/category/meta) is pulling its [end-to-end encryption](https://mashable.com/article/what-is-end-to-end-encryption-e2e) option on Instagram DMs. The company announced the change in an [update to its support page](https://help.instagram.com/491565145294150/?helpref=uf_share "(opens in a new window)") and via alerts to users in the app, writing: > End-to-end encrypted messaging on Instagram will no longer be supported after May 8, 2026. > > If you have chats that are impacted by this change, you will see instructions on how you can download any media or messages you may want to keep. > > If you're on an older version of Instagram, you may also need to update the app before you can download your affected chats. Meta spokesperson Dina El-Kassaby Luce told [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/tech/894752/instagram-end-to-end-encryption "(opens in a new window)") that the company was discontinuing the feature because "very few people" were using it. With end-to-end encryption enabled for both users, DMs and calls aren't visible to outside actors, including Meta, unless they're shared. Meta and other tech leaders have come under fire for turning over user communications to outside entities, including law enforcement. But they have also received flak for offering end-to-end encryption to users across the board, with some critics saying that the feature enables child predators to target and communicate with minors undetected. TikTok, for example, [does not offer end-to-end encryption](https://mashable.com/article/tiktok-encryption-dms) for user DMs and explained to the BBC that the decision is the result of numerous safety considerations. The company told the outlet that providing law enforcement and internal training teams with chat data keeps users safe. For users who still want end-to-end encryption, Meta's spokesperson says to turn to WhatsApp — but the Meta-owned messaging service isn't [entirely safe from intrusions](https://mashable.com/article/meta-read-whatsapp-messages-privacy-lawsuit), either. Meta says end-to-end encryption will still be available on Messenger. ![Chase sits in front of a green framed window, wearing a cheetah print shirt and looking to her right.
