How to Take a Screenshot on iPhone

Taking a screenshot on your iPhone can be useful in many situations: whether you want to share a conversation, save important information, or capture an issue for support. Here’s a step-by-step guide for taking a screenshot on any iPhone model.

1. How to Take a Screenshot on iPhones with Face ID

If your iPhone has Face ID (without a Home button), follow these steps:

1. Locate the Volume Up button and the Side button (on the right side of your device).
2. Press and hold both buttons simultaneously.
3. The screen will flash, indicating that the screenshot has been taken.
4. A thumbnail of the screenshot will appear in the bottom left corner. Tap on it to edit or swipe left to dismiss it.

2. How to Take a Screenshot on iPhones with a Home Button

For devices with a Home button, the process is slightly different:

1. Press the Side button (or the Top button) and the Home button at the same time.
2. Hold the buttons briefly until the screen flashes.
3. The screenshot thumbnail will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen.

3. How to Take a Screenshot Using AssistiveTouch

If you find it difficult to use the physical buttons, you can enable AssistiveTouch:

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch.
2. Toggle on AssistiveTouch.
3. Tap the AssistiveTouch button that appears on your screen.
4. Select Device > More > Screenshot.

4. Where to Find Your Screenshots

All your screenshots are saved in the Screenshots album in the Photos app. Open the app to view, edit, or share your images.

Tips and Tricks

• If you frequently take screenshots, try the "three-finger swipe" gesture available in iOS 14 and above for quick copying.
• Edit your screenshots right after taking them: add text, draw, or highlight directly in the Photos app.
• You can also ask Siri to take a screenshot: just say, "Hey Siri, take a screenshot."

Now you know all the ways to take a screenshot on your iPhone! Try them out and choose the one that works best for you.
