How to Take a Screen Shot on Your iPhone 12
There are a lot of apps on the app store that help you take screenshots, but there are a few things you need to know to get the most out of them. The first thing you’ll want to do is make sure that you’ve installed the right app. There are a few different options, but they’ll all be similar in terms of how they work.
Full-page screenshots
If you have an iPhone 12 or later, you can take full-page screenshots of your web pages or documents. However, it’s important to note that this method is limited to the Safari browser. You won’t be able to save your social media feeds, iMessage chats, or Slack DMs.
Fortunately, there are other methods for capturing a full-page web page or document on an iPhone. One of the most popular options is to use Picsew, a third-party app that allows you to capture a full-page screenshot. It’s available as a free trial, though it costs $1.99 when it’s purchased.
While the iPhone’s native screenshot tool is great, it doesn’t work in most other apps. It’s only available in the Safari browser, so if you’re browsing in Messages or the Share Sheet, you won’t be able to capture a full-page web page. If you want to use a screenshot tool that works in Messages, Gmail, and other iOS apps, you’ll need to use Picsew.
It’s also worth noting that a full-page screenshot doesn’t always work right. This is especially true when you’re capturing a document or webpage that includes a lot of text. It can be frustrating to have to take multiple screenshots to get everything you need.
Sharing a screenshot
Taking a screenshot is one of the most basic smartphone functions. It’s a quick way to share something with others, whether it’s a web page, an app, or a text message. You can save your finished screenshots to your photo library or camera roll.
iOS 11 allows you to quickly edit and markup a screenshot. You can add shapes, texts, signatures, and even comment bubbles to your snapshot. You can also draw, erase, and crop a screenshot. The best part is that you can do all of this without having to delete or move the image.
The simplest and most efficient way to share a screenshot on your iPhone 12 is by catching the thumbnail. This thumbnail will appear in the lower left corner of the screen. It’s a small image that appears for a few seconds before it disappears. You can then edit and share it. You can then send it to another person via email, AirDrop, or text message.
The share button also allows you to markup a screenshot and annotate it, if you want. This is similar to the markup feature of iOS 11, but you can also annotate a screenshot before it’s saved to the photo library or camera roll. You can even add a signature and a magnifying glass.
Taking screenshots with Assistive Touch
Assistive Touch is an accessibility feature on iOS devices that allows users to take screenshots without pressing a single button. This is great for people who are disabled or have broken hardware buttons.
To use the feature, turn on AssistiveTouch in the Settings app. This will enable a small white dot on the right side of the screen. The button will then open up an overlay that shows a list of options. The Screenshot option is located at the top of the menu.
You can also set up AssistiveTouch to take a screenshot by double-tapping the screen. Then, you can save the screenshot to the Photos app and share it with friends. When the screenshot is saved to the Photos app, it will appear in a folder called Screenshots. If you want to edit the screenshot, you can do so by dragging the image and resizing it. If you want to delete it, press the Back button on the iPhone.
You can also create a shortcut that will activate AssistiveTouch when you tap the Control Center. You can also change the default icon for the screenshot button. Then, you can choose to double-tap the button to take a screenshot or to triple-click it.
If you have an iPhone model that does not have a Home button, you can still take a screenshot by holding the Volume Up button on the left side of the phone. Alternatively, you can take a screenshot with the Power (Side) button. Whether you are using a hardware or software screenshot tool, you can customize it to be compatible with your needs.
Taking screenshots with third-party apps
There are several apps you can use to take screenshots on your iPhone. You can save a full screen or webpage to your photo library, email it to a friend, or share it through Text or Messages. You can also share it on social media sites.
If you’re taking screenshots on an older iPhone, you may have to tap and release both the power and volume up buttons at the same time. If you’re on a more recent model, you can simply press and hold the screenshot button, located in the top-right corner of the phone. This is also the same button you would use to turn the device off.
Then, you can choose the area of the screen you want to capture. You can crop or annotate it, or you can save it to your photo library. You can also use the pen icon to draw or highlight the image.
If you’re looking to take a full-page screenshot of a website or other page, you should definitely consider using the native iOS screenshot tool. It’s fast and easy to use, but you’ll have to be logged into an iOS app.
