You may not know whatever you see on your  Moto G screen, you can share them with your friends or family members.  This includes web pages, home screen, apps screen, play list, game achievements….

If you press power button too early, you will get power options.

If you press power button too late, you will get volume options.

You can check the screenshot taken in Apps— Gallery — Screenshots.

If you want, you can edit the screenshot in Moto G. The screenshot is just a normal image file.
