Assist touch

IOS has a little-used feature that lets you create a virtual home button. It is called Assistive Touch, which translates as Assistive Touch. It is designed specifically for people with disabilities and allows you to operate a smartphone with one hand, completely imitating complex gestures and pressing control buttons.

• By default, this function is disabled and activated in the settings. In the general menu, select “Basic” and go to the item indicated in the screenshot.

• Having opened the section “Universal access”, we scroll down the list of settings to get to the required parameter. In the screenshot, it is highlighted with a frame.

• Move the slider marked with the arrow to activate Assistive Touch on the device. By default, the button that allows you to make a screen is in the third nested action level. To simplify access and make this feature useful, open the boxed setting.

• Let’s sacrifice a voice assistant by replacing Siri with a screenshot button. Click on it to open the action selection menu.

• We are looking for the option indicated in the screenshot. Click on it so that a checkmark appears opposite to confirm the selection. We complete the operation using the virtual button “Finish”. Having closed the settings, we move to the main screen of the smartphone.

• The arrow indicates the auxiliary touch button in the active mode. In the waiting state, it becomes less noticeable. By default, the transparency level is set to 40% of the active state. You can move it to a convenient place at any edge of the screen to which it “sticks”.

• Now, by clicking on the new virtual button, we expand the action menu. The screenshot we need is in a programmed location.

Associative Touch can be configured to launch only when you need it. For example, activate this action by triple clicking on a physical button. Thus, if you need to take a series of sequential shots, you can operate your smartphone with one hand and do it much faster than the traditional method.

Ways to take a screenshot on iPhone 7

• Using the buttons located on the iPhone 7.
• Using the special built-in assistant “Assistive Touch”.

But it should be understood that both methods take a screenshot of the entire screen. If the user needs to cut out any part, he can format the picture later, in a standard image editor.

Important! The methods described below work on other versions of the phone, for example, the IPhone 7 Plus.

Programmatic way

The second way to make the process of taking screenshots on iOS more convenient and productive is much less known. It consists in using the auxiliary touch function, which displays an additional virtual button on the smartphone screen with its own control menu.

• From the desktop, open the iPhone settings. Go to the “Basic” section.

• We are looking for the accessibility settings menu marked in the screenshot.

• Scroll down the screen to the “Interaction” section. In the list of available parameters, we find the item indicated in the screenshot.

• Located at the top and marked with a “1”, a switch activates the Assist Touch function. By default, the screenshot button is located in the third level submenu. Getting to her with such an arrangement is long and inconvenient. There are two ways to change the situation by optimizing the process of creating a touchscreen. In the subsection marked with the number “2”, we can move it to the upper level. The three marks the option to configure the events that occur when the main floating button is pressed. Here you can set the parameters at which the screenshot will be created using one of the preset options.

How to take a screenshot of the entire page on an iPhone with iOS 11-13

Yes, there are plenty of ways to take a screenshot of an entire page on an iPhone. Their choice depends on the size of the required image.

Simple Screenshot

First, let’s figure out how to make a simple screen on an iPhone. To do this, use the Face ID function, Touch ID or the top button of the smartphone.

With the Face ID function, a simple screenshot is made like this: two buttons are simultaneously clamped: the side (power) and volume up buttons. The finished snapshot can be saved or deleted immediately by simply swiping it off the screen.

In the case of Touch ID, you should clamp the side and “Home”. The actions with the thumbnail are the same. you can save or swipe from the screen. If the device has a top button, then to take a screenshot you need to hold it down while pressing the “Home” button.

The saved screenshots will be displayed in the Screenshots folder. And to get there, you need to go to “Photos” and fall into the section “Albums”.

Screen Recording

The latest models with iOS 11 and above already have a video capture option. This feature allows you to capture everything that happens on the iPhone screen and then save the recording to the device’s gallery. In fact, this is a video screenshot.

In order to add this option to the quick menu, you need:

• Go to “Settings”.
• Go to the section “Control Center”.
• Select the line “Customize controls”.
• In the list that appears, find “Screen Recording”.
• Click on the green plus sign opposite.

Now about how to record directly from the screen:

• Call up the express menu (swipe up from the bottom of the screen or swipe down from the top right corner).
• Click on Screen Recording.
• To end the recording process, you need to touch the status line or the clock.

If you hold down the “Screen Recording” button, you will be able to make a video screen with sound. you just need to turn on the microphone.

A snapshot of the entire page with scrolling

In this case, there are also several options. Let’s start with Safari.

In order to get a complex screenshot from the iPhone screen, you will have to follow these steps:

• Go to the Safari browser, minimize the window and go to the page you want to take a snapshot of.
• Take a simple screenshot (the methods are described in detail above).
• Click on the “Preview” button.
• At the top, select the line “Entire page”.
• Click “Finish”.

This method has one bold minus. this option is available only for web pages opened in Safari.

And if you need to screen something else, then you should use third-party applications, like “Tailor”.

• Download “Tailor” in AppStor.
• Allow the app to access the photo.
• By taking simple screenshots, screen the entire required area of ​​the screen so that part of the previous picture overlaps the new one. That is, the end of screenshot No. 1 must be duplicated at the very beginning of the screenshot. The application itself “understands” what needs to be cut and “blinds” the parts into one whole.
• Go directly to Tailor. At the same time, you do not need to select anything. the program independently recognizes fresh screens.
• Click on the “Share” and “Save image” buttons to export the screenshot to the “Photos.

In this case, the screenshot will be identified by the iPhone as a panorama.

How to make a full screen of a page on an iPhone that is larger than the screen. with or without scrolling

Actually, nothing complicated. The main thing is to remember the right combination. And the iPhone itself will inform its user about the success of the snapshot with the sound of the camera shutter and the cheerful “winking” of the screen.
