You can also save it to your photo library. ■ Share a link, they see the same spot Send the screenshot and link through Messages, KakaoTalk or social apps. When the other person opens the link in SWeb, the same page opens at the same position. ■ All your windows at a glance Keep several pages open as windows and flip through them in ladder, grid or card view.
