To take a screenshot on an iPhone, the most common way is to quickly press and release the side button and the volume up button at the same time. The screenshot will briefly appear as a thumbnail in the lower-left corner of the screen and is saved automatically to the Photos app. Here are details based on iPhone models and other methods:
On iPhones with Face ID (no Home button):
- Press the side button (on the right) and volume up button (on the left) simultaneously and release quickly.
On iPhones with a Home button:
- Press the side button and the Home button at the same time and release quickly.
Other methods to take screenshots on iPhone:
- Back Tap: On supported iPhones, set a double or triple tap on the back to trigger a screenshot (Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap > Screenshot).
- AssistiveTouch: Enable AssistiveTouch to get an on-screen button to take screenshots (Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch).
- Siri: Say "Hey Siri, take a screenshot" to capture using voice command.
- Full Page Screenshot: After taking a regular screenshot, tap the thumbnail then select "Full Page" to capture an entire webpage or long content.
This makes it easy to capture and save what's on the iPhone screen in multiple ways depending on user preference and device model.
