Frequently Asked Questions
Where do screenshots get saved on iPhone?
Screenshots are automatically saved to the Photos app in the 'Screenshots' album. You can also find them in your 'Recents' album.
What's the difference between the button combinations for different iPhone models?
iPhones with Face ID (no home button) use Side Button + Volume Up. Older iPhones with a home button use Home Button + Power Button. The functionality is the same, just different button locations.
How do I take a full-page screenshot on iPhone?
After taking a screenshot in Safari or other supported apps, tap the preview thumbnail. At the top, switch from 'Screen' to 'Full Page' to capture the entire scrollable content as a PDF.
Can I edit screenshots immediately after taking them?
Yes! Tap the preview thumbnail that appears in the corner after taking a screenshot. This opens Markup tools where you can crop, draw, add text, and use other editing features before saving or sharing.
