Taking screenshots on iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Capturing screenshots on iPhone is relatively straightforward but the steps do vary a little between models. If you have an iPhone model with a home button, simply hold down the side button <\/strong>and home button<\/strong> to capture a screenshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have an iPhone without a home button, which is most models since the iPhone X, then the steps for taking a screenshot change slightly. Simply hold down the side button<\/strong> and the volume up button<\/strong> at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you\u2019re all set to screenshot on your iPhone. Sometimes finding and holding down the correct buttons can be a little annoying, especially if you\u2019re quickly trying to grab a screenshot. Read on for some handy shortcuts and alternative ways to screenshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Screenshot shortcuts on iPhone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

iPhones have a handy set of functions under their Accessibility menu<\/strong> which allows you to set up shortcuts for custom actions. This means by going to Settings > Accessibility > Touch<\/strong> you can choose to setup Assistive Touch<\/strong>. This will put a small floating icon on your screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you can set up Back Tap<\/strong>, this feature allows you to quickly take a screenshot on your iPhone. When in the Touch Menu, simply scroll down to Back Tap and choose Double <\/strong>or Triple Tap. <\/strong>Then you can tap the back of your iPhone 2 or 3 times to take a screenshot without needing to push buttons or touch the screen. How simple is that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn more about the Accessibility features on iPhone, check out the Apple website<\/a> for a full list of awesome shortcuts and features!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Screenshot on Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s time to look at screenshotting on Android devices. Most newer devices all follow the same steps to capture a screenshot. So next time you want to take a screenshot on an Android just hold down the Volume Down button <\/strong>and Power button<\/strong> simultaneously. These steps work for Google, Vivo, Oppo and other Android devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Samsung devices follow the same steps but you may need to hold down for 1-2 seconds<\/strong> depending on the model of your device. For older devices, specifically, models released prior to 2018 with a home button, simply hold down <\/strong>the Home <\/strong>and Power (on\/off) buttons<\/strong> simultaneously for 1-2 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Screenshot shortcuts on Android<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For many newer Samsung models you can screenshot using gestures, similar to iPhone this cuts the need to find and press buttons. To set up Palm Swipe to capture, head to Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures<\/strong> and turn on Palm Swipe to capture. <\/strong>Once you\u2019re all set up simply swipe across the screen<\/strong> with the side of your hand<\/strong> to capture a screenshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also often a shortcut to screenshot on the Quick Settings panel<\/strong>. To access this, swipe down from the top of the screen<\/strong> and tap the Take Screenshot option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes these are labelled differently depending on the phone’s make and model. It may be labelled Screen Capture, Screenshot or something similar. If the Screenshot option isn\u2019t visible tap the + icon to customise your quick settings menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
