How to screenshot on iPhone 13

Have gotten the new iPhone 13 smartphone? Thinking of how to take screenshots on the device? Well, we understand this because it can be a little confusing especially if you are coming from an old iPhone or from an Android OS. Taking a screenshot on your iPhone 13 is one of the easiest ways to capture some stuff that you can show someone or better still as proof of something.

What we are trying to say here is that screenshot is essential to all iPhone users. So below, we will be working you through the methods on how to take screenshots on your iPhone 13 device.

Method #1: Using the Side and Volume button

Perhaps the easiest way to quickly take a screenshot on the iPhone 13, is using the side and volume up button. All you have to do is hold the side button and the volume up button simultaneously. Once you release your hold on those buttons, the screenshot is taken.

You’ll hear the familiar shutter sound, and the preview of that screenshot would show up at the bottom of the screen. If you tap on it, you’ll see the option to edit, crop, and annotate the screenshot.

If you tap and hold the preview, you’ll be taken to a share sheet, where you can send the screenshot to the app of your choice.

Also, if you just dismiss the preview, the screenshot would be automatically saved in the Screenshot album in the Photos app on your iPhone 13.

Method #2: Using the Assistive Touch

You don’t always have to use the physical buttons on your iPhone 13 Pro to take a screenshot.
With just a tap on the screen, you can use the Assistive Touch to quickly take a screenshot.
First, you’d have to enable Assistive Touch by going to Settings > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch.

Once you enable Assistive Touch, You’ll see a semi-transparent button show up on your screen – that is the Assistive Touch.

Now, you’d have to customize it to be able to take a screenshot with just one tap.

To do this, tap on the button, and then the Custom icon (the star icon).

Select Screenshot from the list you’ll find, and the screenshot automatically gets added to the Assistive Touch Menu. Whenever you want to take a screenshot, just tap on the Assistive touch button, and then the Screenshot button.

As with the first method, you can then interact with the preview of the screenshot, and share it right from there. The screenshot would be saved in the Screenshots album in your Photos app.
