14 Screenshots Everyone Saves On Their Phone
1. The “This Is The Most Absurd Message I’ve Ever Gotten, HOOOOOOLY SHIT.” This is the reason screenshots were invented, after all. No woman could survive Tinder if she couldn’t rip apart the worst messages with her BFFs.
2. The “I'm So Good At Finding Hard-hitting Evidence, I Should Get A Law Degree.” Anytime someone texts that they just left the house 55 minutes ago when you know they only have a 15-minute commute, there’s a screenshot. You never lose a case, which means your phone is littered with receipts.
3. The “Super Confidential Work Goss That Still Makes You Nervous.” Exchanging office hookup rumors via screenshots of screenshots on your phone is almost never worth it.
4. The “Ex’s Lame Insta Your Bestie Sent You.” He’s on private from when you unfollowed him, but luckily your closest friends will aid in your need to occasionally snoop (especially when he has a new girlfriend who looks EXACTLY like you).
5. The “OMG, Will She Ever Stop Humblebragging About How Rich She Is?” If someone is going to post lavish, braggy vacation Instas, they have to expect that the rest of us plebes will bitterly screenshot.
6. The “You’ll Be Glad I Kept This Gem Of A Drunk Text.” Your BFF’s high-deas should be framed in a museum TBH, but for now, preserving them on your phone will do.
7. The “WTF DOES THIS MEAN????” You cracked an objectively hilarious joke and all he said was "lol". If you haven't screenshotted this and sent to your group chat for further analysis, is he even your crush?
8. The “Subtly Showing Off How Good My Convos With Bae Are.” Now that you’re in the socially-insufferable honeymoon stage of your relationship, you inevitably want to flaunt every smart, funny, lovely, perfect thing he texts you (or just save it to look at later because you talk nonstop).
9. The “Sexy Boyfriend Snap I Forgot To Delete And My Whole Squad Just Saw.” Ah, yes. Scrolling up your photo roll to find a pic and everyone seeing your boyfriend’s erect penis through his boxer briefs. Classic!
10. The “Saved You A Click But We Still Need To Talk About This.” You just read the world's longest article about Harry and Meghan's romantic timeline, but there's one paragraph you absolutely need to discuss with your BFF ASAP.
11. The “Cringiest Twitter Fight Between Some Randos To Spice Up The Group Chat.” You don’t know these people, but you have receipts of their receipts and you are 1,000 percent committed to following every development of this beef.
12. The “I Didn’t Need To Screenshot This (I Was Just In Shock).” Sometimes, you see an Insta meme so visually bizarre that your impulse is to hit Home and Power instead of just DMing.
13. The “I Saved This Snap Only To Give You An Ego Boost.” Because there is something downright heartbreaking in sending a selfie to your S.O. and NOT getting the screenshot notification. A good partner will know how to flatter you.
14. The “Oh Wait, This Is Actually Super Important Info I Shouldn’t Lose.” One point for having the foresight to screenshot your insurance card deets, which is probably actually why this tech function exists in the first. Too bad you took it a year ago and it’s now lost in a sea of everything else you screenshot.
