As we all know, the screenshot is used for snatching the images effortlessly avoiding the complication of downloading as it needs an internet connection to download a photo. The screenshot avoids this problem if we properly use it. We can capture webpage pictures or even can capture our display picture, menu, etc occasionally.

The steps are given below:


  • Simultaneously press the “Sleep/Wake” button and Home button. The Sleep button can be found on the top and the home button is the circular knob in front of the device.
  • While pressing, a white flash will appear on the screen and will hear a camera shutter sound. It indicates the screenshot is successfully taken.
  • The captured image will be saved to “Camera Roll” in “Photos”.

2. Screenshots using Assistive touch

Assistive touch is another method used rather than the default method. It seems to be helpful when your home button or sleep/wake button is damaged so that you would not be able to take a screenshot. The Touch ID may even get mistakes sometimes. It identifies our gesture to be something else rather than doing PrintScreen. Hence, the assistive method is to be noted for evading more trouble.
