How useful are screenshots and how easy it is to stay in the gesture, the photo that is taken and nothing else. Since iPhone X, the way to take screenshots has changed and the options that allow taking the generated snapshot have also evolved. Without going any further, there are a few iPhone screen capture features that I find the most convenient that are underrated.
Capture not just the screen, but the entire page
Sometimes you want to capture only what you have on screen (or maybe a smaller part) but, what happens when you want to have the whole article?
First take the screenshot as usual (i.e. by pressing the volume up button and the side button simultaneously or with the Touch ID button and the side button if you have an iPhone SE) and now look at the image that appears.
In the upper zone appears ‘Screen’ (which appears by default) and ‘Full page’. It is the second option that interests us: if you select it, you will see that a PDF document is generated which you can scroll by pressing the thumbnail on the right.
When you click ‘OK’, you will be able to choose where to save the generated PDF. This trick is essential for me to be able to read, share or keep a complete article without losing its structure.
Improve your hand drawings
If after taking a screenshot would you like to draw something by hand On it, for example, an arrow, a circumference, a line… you just have to take the screenshot and click on the pen icon to start your line (remember that you can choose aspects such as thickness, color, etc.).
Now you just have to slide your finger in the direction you want, for example to point something by rounding it. When you close this kind of circumference and as usual, the line will be imperfect.
Also, hold down your finger as soon as you’re done tracing to let iPhone interpret what you wanted to do and is automatically changed by an arrow, a line, a circumference and even a cloud.
