Comment Faire Une Capture D Ecran Sur Iphone 11

Okay, so picture this: me, desperately trying to win a ridiculously obscure trivia night over Zoom. The winning question? Something about the mating habits of a Bolivian tree frog (seriously?!). I frantically Google, find the answer in a forum from 2007, and then… blank. My brain short-circuits. Panic sets in. I need to capture this vital information before it vanishes into the digital ether! But… how?! In that moment of crisis, I wished I'd paid more attention to something so basic: taking a screenshot on my iPhone 11.

We've all been there, right? You see something online, a funny meme, a crucial recipe, or maybe, just maybe, the answer to a Bolivian tree frog trivia question. And you need to keep it. That's where the mighty screenshot comes to the rescue. So, let's demystify this seemingly simple (but surprisingly stressful when you're under pressure!) task.

The Button Combo: Old Reliable

This is the classic method, the one your grandma probably knows (or should know!). Ready? Here we go:

Simultaneously press the side button (on the right) and the volume up button (on the left). Yes, at the same time. Not one then the other. Simultaneously. I know, it sounds easier than it is. Don't be surprised if you accidentally turn the volume up or down a few times. We've all done it. Just keep practicing! (And maybe lower the volume a bit before you start, just in case...).

You should see a quick flash on the screen and hear a click sound (if your sound is on, duh!). A thumbnail of your screenshot will appear in the bottom left corner. Voila! You've captured your digital trophy.

Side Comment: This method is pretty straightforward, but sometimes my fingers just… fail me. Anyone else? Maybe I need finger yoga.

The Aftermath: What to Do With Your Screenshot

So, you've successfully taken a screenshot. Now what? That little thumbnail in the corner is your gateway. You have a few options:

• Do Nothing: It'll automatically save to your Photos app. Easy peasy! It'll be nestled amongst all your other masterpieces (or, you know, pictures of your lunch).
• Tap the Thumbnail: This opens the screenshot editor. Here, you can crop, mark it up with doodles (essential for pointing out embarrassing typos to your friends!), add text, and even share it directly to your favorite app.
• Swipe Left: Dismisses the thumbnail. It still saves to your Photos app, don't worry!
• Long Press the Thumbnail: This gives you a shortcut menu, allowing you to quickly share, save to Files, or copy the screenshot.

Important Tip: Don't forget to clean up your screenshot roll every now and then! Otherwise, you'll end up with hundreds of random images clogging up your phone. (Speaking from experience, obviously...).

Scrolling Screenshots: The Holy Grail

Now, this is where things get interesting. Need to capture an entire webpage or a long conversation thread? The iPhone 11 has a trick up its sleeve: scrolling screenshots!

Follow the same steps as before to take a regular screenshot (side button + volume up). Then, when the thumbnail appears, tap it. You'll see two tabs at the top: "Screen" and "Full Page."

Tap "Full Page." Magic! You'll see the entire webpage (or document, or whatever you're capturing) displayed on the right. You can scroll through it and even crop the area you want to save.

But there's a catch! This feature only works in certain apps, like Safari, Mail, and Notes. Don't expect it to work in every app. (Sadly, it wouldn’t have helped me with that dodgy 2007 forum). It saves as a PDF, not a regular image. You can find it in your Files app.

Pro Tip: Before taking a full-page screenshot, make sure the page has fully loaded. Otherwise, you might end up with a incomplete image.

Alternatives: AssistiveTouch (For the Button-Averse)

If you find pressing those buttons too fiddly (or if one of your buttons is broken, quelle horreur!), there's another option: AssistiveTouch.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch and turn it on. A little virtual button will appear on your screen. You can customize what this button does. Go to "Customize Top Level Menu" and add "Screenshot" as one of the options.

Now, to take a screenshot, just tap the AssistiveTouch button and select "Screenshot." Easy peasy lemon squeezy! (Although, personally, I find the button a bit distracting, but it's a good option if you need it.)

So there you have it! Everything you need to know to become a screenshot ninja on your iPhone 11. Now go forth and capture all the digital treasures your heart desires. And maybe, just maybe, you'll win that obscure trivia night next time... with the help of your trusty screenshot skills!
