Have you ever tried to share something on your iPhone, like a long article or a chat conversation, but the screenshot just couldn’t capture the whole thing? Worry not, because I’m here to show you how to screenshot the whole page on your iPhone in a few simple steps. After reading this quick overview, you’ll be able to do it with ease.
Step by Step Tutorial: How to Screenshot Whole Page on iPhone
Before we dive into the steps, let me explain what we’re going to do. We’ll be using a little-known feature on your iPhone that allows you to take a screenshot that scrolls, capturing the entire page.
Step 1: Open the content you want to capture
Make sure you’re on the page you want to screenshot.
When you’ve found the right page, it could be a webpage, a document, or even your email, make sure it’s fully loaded. You don’t want to miss anything important, right?
Step 2: Take a standard screenshot
Press the Side Button and the Volume Up button simultaneously.
If you’re using an iPhone with a home button, you’ll need to press the Home button and the Side/Lock button at the same time. You’ll hear a camera shutter sound, and a thumbnail of your screenshot will appear in the bottom left corner.
Step 3: Tap on the screenshot thumbnail
Quickly tap on the thumbnail before it disappears.
Tapping the thumbnail will open the screenshot editor. If you miss it, don’t worry, you can always find your screenshot in the Photos app.
Step 4: Select ‘Full Page’
At the top, you’ll see options for ‘Screen’ and ‘Full Page.’ Tap on ‘Full Page.’
This option will only appear for content that can be scrolled through. If you don’t see ‘Full Page,’ it means that a full page screenshot isn’t available for that content.
Step 5: Save the full page screenshot
Tap ‘Done’ and then select ‘Save PDF to Files.’
You can choose where in your Files app you’d like to save the screenshot. And voila, you now have a full page screenshot stored on your iPhone!
After you complete the action, you will have a full-page screenshot saved as a PDF in the Files app on your iPhone. You can then share this PDF via email, messages, or any other way you typically share documents.
Tips: Mastering the Screenshot on iPhone
- Ensure your iPhone software is updated for the best performance and access to the latest features.
- If you only need a portion of the page, you can crop the screenshot before saving it.
- Use the markup tools to annotate your screenshot with notes or highlights before saving.
- Remember, you can also share the full-page screenshot right after taking it by tapping the share button in the screenshot editor.
- Practice makes perfect; try taking a few full-page screenshots to get the hang of it.
