How to take a screenshot on iPhone
In this article, we want to teach you how to take screenshots on different iPhone models and also edit them. Stay with Wironal until the end.
Screenshot on iPhone equipped with Face ID
With the exception of the iPhone SE 3, all new Apple iPhones use Face ID instead of the Home button and Touch ID system, so you do not have access to a button at the bottom of the screen. However, you can do this with the side buttons.
In these iPhones, like the iPhone 13 and 12 series, you can take a screenshot by pressing the side button and increasing the volume. After pressing these buttons, you will see a camera shutter sound (if the iPhone is not silent, of course) and a small screenshot will appear in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Screenshot equipped with Touch ID and side button
Phones such as the iPhone 7 and 8 series, as well as the iPhone SE 3, use the Home button with a Touch ID below the display, and their power button is located on the side frame. In these iPhones, to take a screenshot, you have to press the power button next to the device as well as the home button at the same time.
By pressing these buttons, if the phone is not silent, you will hear a camera shutter sound, and then a small screenshot will appear in the lower-left corner of the device.
Screenshot on iPhone equipped with Touch ID and top button
On older iPhones, such as the iPhone 5s and the first generation iPhone SE, the power button is at the top instead of the side frame, however, the screenshot process on these iPhones is no different. Of course, these iPhones also use the Home button.
On these iPhones, you can take a screenshot by pressing the power button on the top of the device and the Home button. This will take a thumbnail of the screenshot in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Screenshot with Assistive Touch
Be sure not to use the buttons to take a screenshot on the iPhone, and this is also possible in software. To do this, you must use the Assistive Touch button. To activate this button, you need to go to settings and then Accessibility, and under the Physical and Motor section, select the Touch option.
Select the AssistiveTouch option here and then enable it. This will bring up a white button on the screen, and you can tap on it to get various options. It is not bad to know that it is possible to customize this menu and you can add a screenshot to it.
By adding a screenshot to the menu, just touch this software button on the page you want and then select the Screenshot option. Of course, if you want to take a screenshot faster, you can work in the settings to take a screenshot by double-tapping this button or touching it repeatedly. You can access such options in the Custom Actions section of AssisitveTouch.
Screenshot by tapping on the back panel of the iPhone
Another way to take a screenshot on an iPhone is to tap the back panel two or three times, which of course works on some iPhones. In fact, you can use this method on iPhone 8 and later with iOS 14 and newer versions.
To enable this feature, go to Settings and then Settings> Accessibility> Touch> Back Tap. Here are two options: Double Tap or Double Tap and Triple Tap or Three Tap. Touching each one brings up various options that you must select a screenshot of. By activating this option, by taking a double tap on the back panel, the screenshot will be taken from the screen.
Screenshot on iPhone with the help of Siri
The last way to take screenshots on different iPhones is to use Apple’s voice assistant, which is the same as Siri. All you have to do is use the “Hey Siri” voice command or activate it by pressing the side or home button (depending on the iPhone model). The “Take a screenshot” command then takes a screenshot after a few seconds. This feature is useful when you can not use your hands.
Edit iPhone screenshot
When you take a screenshot, a small image of it appears in the lower-left corner of the screen, and you can touch it to go to the screenshot editing page. Here are some tools you can use to draw or cut a screenshot. Of course, in the future, you can also find and edit screenshots by visiting App Photos.
