To take a screenshot on an iPhone, the most common method is:
- For iPhones without a Home button (like iPhone X and later): Press the side button (power button) and the volume up button simultaneously, then quickly release both. A thumbnail of the screenshot will appear in the lower-left corner of the screen. You can tap it to edit or swipe it away to save it to Photos.
Other methods include:
- Using the Back Tap feature (on supported iPhones with a glass back): Enable it in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap, then set Double Tap or Triple Tap to Screenshot. You can then tap on the back of the phone to capture a screenshot.
- Using AssistiveTouch: Enable AssistiveTouch in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch and add Screenshot to the menu to take screenshots via an on-screen button.
- Asking Siri: Simply say "Hey Siri, take a screenshot" to capture the screen without using buttons.
For iPhones with a Home button (like iPhone 7 or 8), press the Home button and the side button simultaneously to take a screenshot.
This covers how to screenshot across different iPhone models and involves both physical button presses and accessibility features for convenience.
