Taking a screenshot on your iPhone is a quick way to capture something important—whether it’s a text conversation, a funny meme, or a receipt. You can do this easily with a couple of button presses, and it works a little differently depending on your iPhone model. Here’s how:

🛠️ Before You Start: Make sure your iPhone screen is showing exactly what you want to capture. Anything on your display at that moment will be included in the screenshot.

📱 iPHONE MODELS WITH FACE ID (No Home Button)

1. Press the side button and the volume up button at the same time.
2. Quickly release both buttons.
3. A thumbnail of your screenshot will appear in the bottom left corner. Tap it to edit or share, or swipe it left to save it to Photos.

📱 iPHONE MODELS WITH A HOME BUTTON

1. Press the home button and the side button (or top button for older models) at the same time.
2. Quickly release both buttons.
3. The screen will flash white, and the screenshot thumbnail will appear in the bottom left corner.

All done! Your screenshot will be saved in the Screenshots album in the Photos app.

✅ Optional Tip:
 You can also take scrolling screenshots of entire webpages or documents in Safari—just tap the screenshot preview, then tap Full Page at the top before saving.
