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?

Lemmy is available on mobile yk

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

can you even take a screenshot before the login screen?

It's not a screenshot. It's a photo of the screen.

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)

Well you being a dick about it certainly helped clarify it. Thanks

Why didn’t OP just take a screenshot?

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