There shouldn’t be any doubt now that the iPhone 11 is an incredibly powerful mobile phone for people to use. However, what a lot of people might not know is how to do one of the most important things that an iPhone can do, and that’s take a screenshot.

Take a screenshot can be a very important thing to be able to do, but if you don’t know how and never had an iPhone before, it can be quite confusing. What we thought we would do is take a look at the steps required to take a screenshot.

Let’s Get Started

Okay, let’s get started on how you go about taking a screenshot for your iPhone 11. What you’re going to want to do is go to the area that you want to photograph. If you’re someone who needs to use AssistiveTouch, then you should also make sure that you have easy access to that, because it’s going to come in handy very shortly.

Photo Time

Okay, it’s time to take a photo. There are two ways that you could do this, with those being the conventional way and the AssistiveTouch method. We will be covering both, but let’s start with the conventional way first because it’s the more prevalent.

So here’s what you’re going to want to do. Position your fingers at the volume up button and the lock button on your phone. If you press there is it the exact same time, you will take a screenshot of whatever is on your display at the time. For AssistiveTouch the users, it’s as simple as finding the button in the menus and pressing it.

You will know quite quickly if you’ve picked the correct combination of buttons, because the screen will flash briefly as if you were taking a photo with your camera.

Saving the Photos

Saving photos is not a difficult task. You will notice in the screenshot of your display that a compressed version of the photograph will appear in the bottom corner. If you click on it, you’ll be taken to a more interactive menu which will allow you to annotate the photo or crop it to suit your needs. It’s then just a question of saving it to the photos section of your iPhone. You also have the option to delete the screenshot if you want to try again.

So in conclusion, it is not difficult to take a screenshot on an iPhone. However, first time users may not know how to do this, which is why a helpful guide is always appreciated. The iPhone 11 can take incredible screenshots very quickly, but you just need to make sure you press the correct buttons. This is one of the many incredible functions that your iPhone 11 will be able to do, but it’s also one of the most fundamental ones so you do need to know how to activate it at your discretion.
