Basic procedure

How to take a screenshot iPhone X


As anticipated at the beginning, taking a screenshot on the iPhone X is, contrary to what it may seem, a fairly simple and quick operation. However, the key combination to use is different from the one used on all other iPhone models(Home button + Power button). The elimination of the Home button on the iPhone X has, in fact, meant that Apple has had to revise several of the commands associated with the operation of the borderless iPhone, including that of "photographing" the screen.


So how do you do it? I'll tell you right away: just press the side button (the one on the right) at the same time as the volume up key (the first one starting from the top of the left side). That's it!

The correct execution of the command will be signaled by the reproduction of a sound that simulates the photographic shot as well as by the fact that the screen will quickly light up with a flash.

You can take screenshots on your iPhone X not only on the device's home screen, but also on all apps, games and lock screen. In short, whatever you are seeing on the screen, the command will always work.

All captured screenshots are saved in the app's camera roll. iOS Photo, the same one used for "regular" photos. If you want to view only the captured screenshots excluding the rest of the images on the device, once you have accessed the Photos app, select the Album tab at the bottom and then stop on the album Snapshots, all will be collected there.


Alternative procedure

Is the side button or the volume up button on your iPhone X broken or not working as it should? Are you looking for an alternative method to the above to take screenshots on the latest "bitten apple" smartphone? Then take advantage of the Assistive Touch feature, which allows you to access certain commands and functions of the iPhone in an assisted manner, in fact, directly and exclusively on your screen and that can be useful in the event that it is not possible to use the classic commands of the device in any Other way. In the specific case of screenshots, you can use them to perform them through a handy virtual button.

First, enable the use of AssistiveTouch on your device. To do this, take the iPhone X, unlock it, access the home screen and tap the settings icon (the one with the gear). On the screen that you will then be shown press general, Then Accessibilità and then on Assistance Touch. Then bring up ON the switch that you find next to the wording AssistveTouch and at the bottom of the screen you will immediately see a dark white circle appear in the center. It is the virtual AssistiveTouch button!


Now press the button mentioned above, stop on the Device item in the menu you see appear, select More and tap the Screenshot button to take the screenshot. done!


Editing screenshots

How to take a screenshot iPhone X

Have you noticed that every time you take a screenshot with your iPhone X by following one of the two procedures above in the lower left corner of the screen, the captured screenshots are displayed in thumbnail? Yes? Well, you should know that by pressing on them you can immediately view them in an enlarged form and access the appropriate editing tool.

With the editing tool, you can, for example, add text, freehand drawings and other elements to your screenshots and save the images with the following changes to the device roll. More precisely, you can use the pen and pencil tool, a Highlighter, a rubber and a selection tool as well as a color picker. All changes made to the screenshots can be undone and redone using the arrow keys at the top right.

If you want to add a token, a signature or a magnifying glass to enlarge, in fact, a certain part of the screenshots press the [+] button at the bottom right and select the desired option. If you want instead to zoom the entire captured screen you can use the "usual" pinch to zoom. You can also add additional elements such as squares, circles, cartoons and arrows.

Have you captured more than one screenshot and would like to be able to edit them all at once? You can do this too! To do this, scroll through the various screens you are shown in the editor by tapping from time to time on the relative preview you see on the far right and/or left.


Once your changes are complete, save everything by pressing on the final wording at the top left and then press Save to Photos. By doing so, the edited screenshot will be saved to the iOS camera roll, replacing the original. If you had then thought about it and wanted to delete the captured screenshots, you can do everything directly from the editor by pressing first on end and then Delete screenshot snapshot.

If, instead, you want to share the edited screenshots in another application, press the share symbol (The rectangle with arrow) located at the bottom left of the editor and select the desired destination among those available in the menu that you will see appear.

Both in the case of saving (or deleting) and sharing, if you do not want to intervene on all screens but only on some of them, always remember to deselect the ones you are not interested in by clicking on the relative check mark in the upper right corner.

Taking screenshots of web pages

Using the "standard" functions of which I spoke in the preceding paragraphs, you can take screenshots on phone X of anything you see on the screen, but unfortunately for what concerns the web pages you must necessarily rely on third-party tools. Or rather, you must do so if you want to take a screenshot of a given web page in its entirety (which in the vast majority of cases does not correspond only to the part currently displayed on the screen).

So, if you have this kind of need, I suggest you rely on the use of Awesome Screenshot for Safari. This is a free resource that can, in fact, allow you to capture Internet pages in their full extent in the form of images. It also includes an editor with tools that allow you to edit screenshots of captured web pages by adding additional elements such as arrows and annotations. Oh, I almost forgot, the application is also very easy to use!

To try Awesome Screenshot for Safari, the first thing you need to do is download the app from the App Store. So take your iPhone X, unlock it, access the device's home screen, press the App Store icon (it's light blue with the letter "A" in the center), step on the Search table at the bottom right, type Awesome Screenshot for safari in the appropriate field located at the top and press the Search button found on the on-screen virtual keyboard.

Then select the app icon (the one with camera lens on the background Multicolor) from the search results displayed to you, stop on the button Ottieni and later that Install then enter your Apple ID password (or use Face ID) to start the download procedure. Eventually, you can speed up the execution of the steps in question by connecting directly to the App Store section dedicated to Awesome Screenshot for Safari by tapping here from your iPhone.

Then start the app by pressing the Open button present on the App Store screen or by tapping on the icon of the app that has been added to the home screen, close the brief introductory tutorial that is proposed to you by pressing on the "X" at the top right, presses the Open Safari button on the Safari screen that will open, stop on the share symbol at the bottom, then on the More icon in the first line and bring up ON the switch that you find next to the wording Screenshot.

Then go to the web page you want to immortalize, press again on the share symbol at the bottom of the Safari screen and presses the text Screenshot always present in the first line of icons. Now, stop on the Full Page icon located at the top right, select the size from the menu that appears, add (if desired) annotations, arrows and other elements to your snapshot or crop it or add a blur effect using the toolbar at the bottom and press first on green check mark and then to Save to save the image in the iOS Camera Roll.

When the app asks you for permission to access the photos, remember to answer yes, otherwise the screenshots of web pages captured with your iPhone X can not be saved in the app. Photo, to be precise in the album titled Screenshot Awesome).

In addition to this, as I just indicated, you can open the web pages you want to take a screenshot of directly from the app. To do this, type the referrer URL in the corresponding bar in the center of the main screen of Awesome Screenshot for Safari and tap the Vai button on the on-screen keyboard.

If you wish, you can also use the app to edit "normal" screenshots already saved in the iOS roll. To do this, stop on the multi-colored button found by the app in the center of the main screen and select the reference items from the photo gallery.
