How to Take a Screenshot on different Apple models?

We often come across questions like ‘How can I take screenshots in iPhone?’ or ‘Why am I unable to take a screenshot on my iPhone?’. To put an end to all your dilemmas once and for all, here is how you can take screenshots of different Apple devices:

1. iPhone:

   If you own an iPhone X or later models, you can easily take a screenshot by pressing the power and volume up buttons simultaneously. Make sure you don’t press the volume down button or press the power button for too long, as you won’t be able to take a screenshot, and you might end up turning your screen off. Another method to take a screenshot is by simply commanding Siri to take a screenshot for you, but this method may not be as quick as the first method.

   Alternatively, if you own an iPhone model older than the iPhone X version, you can take a screenshot by pressing the home button and the power or side button together.

2. iPad:

   Similar to iPhone devices, you can take screenshots on your iPad (latest models) by quickly pressing the volume up and power or side button together. For older iPad models, press the home button along with the top button.

3. MacBook:

   Seamlessly take screenshots on your MacBook by pressing shortcut keys for a specific or entire window on the screen. Capture the entire screen by pressing shift + command + 3, capture a selected area on the screen by pressing shift + command + 4, capture a window or menu by pressing shift + command + 4 + space bar, and to release the toolbar option, press shift + command + 5 on your screen, and you will get different options to take screenshot and record your screen the way you want.

What are the alternative methods of taking a screenshot?

Apart from pressing the side and volume up buttons, there is another way to take screenshots on your iPhone mobile devices. However, this method is only applicable to iPhone models released after the iPhone X version. You can take screenshots on iPhone Devices by tapping on the back or the Apple logo on the back of your phone. To activate this feature, go to your settings, click on ‘Accessibility’ then on ‘Touch’, and choose ‘Back Tap’. Then select ‘Double Tap’ or ‘Triple Tap’ as per your preferences, and that’s it, you can enjoy taking screenshots by simply tapping on the back of your phone.
