With iPhones, you can easily take screenshots that can be used for various purposes. Whether it’s a website, email, or content displayed in an app, taking a screenshot is always a useful feature. In this article, you’ll learn how to take screenshots on different iPhone models, including how to capture scrolling screenshots, which is now natively supported by iOS.
Taking screenshots on different iPhone models
Taking a screenshot on iPhone is a simple process. Here’s how to do it on different models:
iPhone 14 screenshot:
- On newer models like iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and the latest iPhone 16, press the side button + volume up button at the same time.
iPhone SE screenshot:
- On models with a Home button, press the Home button + side button simultaneously.
iPhone 13 screenshot:
- Press the side button + volume up button, then release. A preview will appear in the bottom-left corner, where you can view or edit the image.
iPhone 12 screenshot:
- Same method as the iPhone 13. If you miss the preview, you can find the screenshot in the Photos app.
iPhone 11 screenshot:
- Press the side button + volume up button at the same time.
- This method also works for iPhone X.
iPhone 8 screenshot:
- Press the side button + Home button simultaneously.
- The same method applies to iPhone 7 and iPhone 6.
Taking scrolling screenshots
This feature allows you to capture an entire page without taking multiple screenshots.
Steps to take a scrolling screenshot:
- Press the side button + volume up button (or side + Home button on older models)
- Tap the preview in the bottom-left corner
- Select “Full Page” in the top-right corner (this option only appears if the page is longer than one screen)
- The scrolling screenshot is automatically saved as a PDF in the Files app, where you can edit it further
How to take screenshots in third-party apps
If you want to take scrolling screenshots in apps that don’t support this feature, you can use third-party apps. One popular example is Picse, which lets you stitch multiple screenshots together.
Using Siri to take screenshots
Taking screenshots is even easier with Siri. Just say:
“Hey Siri, take a screenshot”, and the virtual assistant will automatically capture your screen.
This method is especially useful if you want to take a screenshot quickly without pressing buttons.
Saving and sharing screenshots
Screenshots are automatically saved in the Photos app, where you can find them in a dedicated album. From there, you can easily share them via messages, email, or directly on social media platforms.
Whether you’re using a newer iPhone like the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, or older models like the iPhone 7, taking screenshots is quick and simple. In addition to native features, third-party apps offer even more possibilities, such as capturing scrolling screenshots. Siri integration makes the process even faster, allowing you to capture your screen in seconds.
