Depending on your iPhone model, this may involve the Side and Volume Up buttons, the Home and side buttons, or the Home and top buttons at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>If some of those buttons are broken or you have a physical condition that prevents you from executing those tricky maneuvers, there are other ways to take a screenshot on an iPhone.

It also lets you trigger a screenshot in several different ways.<\/p>\n<p>To enable AssistiveTouch, first, open Settings on your iPhone.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-685403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/iphone_tap_settings.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap the &quot;Settings&quot; icon on iPhone\" width=\"650\" height=\"274\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In Settings, tap \u201cAccessibility\u201d and then \u201cTouch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-680153\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/iphone_tap_touch.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Tap Touch in Settings on iPhone or iPad\" width=\"650\" height=\"370\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>In Touch, tap AssistiveTouch, and then turn \u201cAssistiveTouch\u201d on.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-722719\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iphone_assistivetouch_on.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Turn the &quot;AssistiveTouch&quot; switch on.\" width=\"650\" height=\"322\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>With AssistiveTouch active, you\u2019ll im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely see a special AssistiveTouch button appear near the edge of your screen (It looks like a circle inside a rounded square.). This button will always remain on the screen, and you can move it around by dragging it with your finger.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-722731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iphone_assistive_touch_button_example.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"The AssistiveTouch button as seen on an iPhone.\" width=\"650\" height=\"329\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re in AssistiveTouch settings, you can experiment with one way to trigger a screenshot using Assistive Touch. Scroll down the page and locate the \u201cCustom Actions\u201d section. Here, you can choose what happens if you single-tap, double-tap, long-press, or 3D-touch (depending on your iPhone model) the onscreen AssistiveTouch button.<\/p>\n<p>You can tap any one of these three or four options, but we\u2019ll pick \u201cDouble-Tap\u201d for this example.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-724545\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iphone_assistivetouch_tap_doubletap.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Select a Custom Action in AssistiveTouch settings.\" width=\"650\" height=\"496\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>After tapping the Custom Action choice, you\u2019ll see a list of actions.

In our example case, if we tap the AssistiveTouch button twice, the iPhone will take a screenshot. Pretty handy!<\/p>\n<p>You can also trigger a screenshot using the AssistiveTouch menu. First, in Settings &gt; Touch &gt; AssistiveTouch, make sure that \u201cSingle-Tap\u201d in the \u201cCustom Actions\u201d list is set to \u201cOpen Menu.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whenever you want to take a screenshot, tap the AssistiveTouch button once, and a pop-up menu will appear.
