Introduction
If you are an iPhone user, you probably know how helpful it is to share screenshots with others. From showing an error message to sharing a funny meme, screenshots make it easy to visually communicate with others. The iPhone 13 is the latest model in the series and has some new and improved features for taking screenshots. This article is for iPhone 13 users who want to learn how to take screenshots easily and efficiently.
A Step-by-Step Tutorial
Taking a screenshot on iPhone 13 is simple and requires two buttons: the side button and the volume up button. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Locate the content you want to screenshot.
Step 2: Press the side button and the volume up button simultaneously.
Step 3: The screen will flash white and produce a camera shutter sound. You will also see a preview thumbnail of the screenshot at the bottom left corner.
Step 4: Tap on the thumbnail to edit, crop, or add annotations to the screenshot.
It’s important to note that the volume up button must be pressed before the side button. Another tip is to press both buttons simultaneously instead of holding them down. Holding them down could trigger Siri or Apple Pay.
If you want to save the screenshot in the Photos app, tap “Done” on the editing page and choose “Save to Photos.”
Comparison with Earlier iPhone Models
The iPhone 13 has new and improved screenshot features compared to earlier models. One of the new features is the ability to easily drag and drop screenshots. You can easily insert a screenshot into an email or a message by long-pressing the preview thumbnail and dragging it to the desired app.
Another new feature is the ability to capture both the screen and audio simultaneously. This feature was introduced in iOS 14 and is available on the iPhone 13. To capture screen audio, tap on the microphone icon on the Control Center before recording the screen.
How to Use Features like Siri or Assistive Touch
If you have difficulty pressing the side button and volume up button simultaneously, Siri or Assistive Touch can be a helpful solution.
To use Siri to take screenshots, activate Siri and say “Take a screenshot.” Siri will automatically take a screenshot, and you can edit it in the same way as the manual method.
Assistive Touch is another option for taking screenshots. Assistive Touch is a feature that creates an on-screen button that performs certain functions. To activate Assistive Touch:
Step 1: Go to “Settings” and tap “Accessibility.”
Step 2: Under “Physical and Motor,” tap “Touch.”
Step 3: Tap “AssistiveTouch” and then turn it on.
To take a screenshot using Assistive Touch, follow these steps:
Step 1: Tap the AssistiveTouch button.
Step 2: Tap “Device” and then “More.”
Step 3: Tap “Screenshot.”
Troubleshooting Tips
Sometimes, users may encounter issues when taking screenshots on iPhone 13. Here are some troubleshooting tips:
Issue 1: “Cannot take screenshot due to limited storage space.”
If you receive this message, try deleting some unnecessary data or files to free up space.
Issue 2: “Screenshot was not saved.”
If this happens, make sure you select “Save to Photos” after editing the screenshot. In some cases, the issue could be that you are not logged in to iCloud or another third-party cloud service.
Issue 3: “Device froze during screenshot.”
If your device freezes or crashes during screenshot-taking, try restarting the device or updating to the latest iOS version.
