How to Take Screenshots on iPhone 12/13/14

Screenshots are one of the most useful ways to save and share information on your iPhone. Whether you need to capture images or text, taking a screenshot is fast and easy across all models of iPhones.

In this tutorial, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to take screenshots with an iPhone 12, 13, or 14. With our simple guide, anyone can master the art of taking screenshots in no time.

Taking a screenshot on an iPhone has remained the same for generations of the device up until the release of the iPhone X in 2017. A screenshot was instantly taken and stored in your gallery when you quickly pressed the power and home buttons together. For iPhones with the Touch ID home button, this is still the case.

The situation is a little different for iPhones with Apple’s Face ID and no home button, such as the iPhone 11, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 models, and most recent iPhone 14 models.

On the iPhone, follow these steps to snap a screenshot:
