Own homepage appears in photo library

[tpete]

This is just weird. I just unlocked my iPhone, and there was a weird shimmer to it when I slid the "slide to unlock" bar. I went into my photos, and there as the most recent photo was a picture of my iPhone homepage, as it appears before I unlock it. There was today's date and time (or, the time of the shimmer now 18 minutes ago), the picture of my dog, the sliding lock key/bar, everything. When I open the picture, it looks just like my iPhone is sitting there locked.

How did my iPhone take a picture of itself? Why did it do this? Anyone? If it matters, I've got a 3G with the most recent software.

I would have posted this in problems, but it's not a problem. It's just weird.

you know, in the time it took you to antagonize the poster you could have just helped.

OP, you accidentally took a screenshot of your iPhone. You can take screenshots of your iPhone, just like you can of your computer. The picture appears in your photo library.
