    Isn’t a screenshot also a picture? It can literally be the same file extension too.

    Why didn’t OP just take a screenshot? Why go through the effort of taking a photo with their phone to then transfer it to a PC?

      Good point. If this community wasn’t for screenshots, it would be called “photographs”. All images, even memes, should be allowed here.

          Yeah, no shit. They were asking if the reason it’s a photo of the screen might be that you can’t take a screenshot of the login screen (which I have no idea the answer to)

      Screenshotting is unavailable while the screen is locked, so that wouldn’t be possible.
