How to Take a Screenshot on Iphone 15 Pro? [3 Methods]

Have you ever wanted to capture something on your screen to share or reference later? Whether it’s a high score from your favorite game, an important message, or a genius idea in a note, your iPhone 15 Pro makes it easy to take a screenshot. With the latest iOS, you have a few methods at your disposal. Let’s dive into the three simple ways to take a screenshot on your new iPhone 15 Pro!

Method 1: Using the Side Button and Volume Up Button

The most common method to capture a screenshot on the iPhone 15 Pro is by using the physical buttons on the device. This method is quick and straightforward:

1. Ensure the content you want to capture is on your screen.
2. Press the Side Button (located on the right side of your iPhone) and the Volume Up button (located on the left side of your iPhone) simultaneously.
3. Release both buttons quickly. You should hear a camera shutter sound (if your volume is turned on) and see a brief flash on the screen. This indicates that a screenshot has been taken.

The screenshot will then appear as a thumbnail at the lower left corner of your screen. You can tap on the thumbnail to edit or share the screenshot immediately, or just swipe it off the screen and it will be saved to your Photos app.

Method 2: Using AssistiveTouch

For those who prefer not using physical buttons, the iPhone 15 Pro offers an AssistiveTouch option which provides an on-screen menu to take a screenshot. Here is how you can use it:

1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch, and then tap on AssistiveTouch to turn it on.
2. Once AssistiveTouch is enabled, you will see a semi-transparent button added to your screen, which you can drag to any edge.
3. Customize the Top Level Menu or create a new shortcut to include the Screenshot option.
4. Tap on the AssistiveTouch button, then select the Screenshot button, and your iPhone will capture the screen.

This method is also helpful if your iPhone’s buttons are broken or if you find the button method cumbersome.

3. Choose Double Tap or Triple Tap, and then select Screenshot from the list of actions.
4. Now, double or triple tap on the back of your iPhone to take a screenshot depending on the option you selected.

2. Tap on the screenshot you wish to edit.
