Screenshot

I have a iPhone XR. The screenshot using volume + and right button does not work. It gets me to the power off screen. The same thing happens when I use power- and the right side button. Tried to reboot and it doesn’t help.

I don't know – I had the same trouble years ago and, in frustration, switched to AssistiveTouch. Since then I do a long tap on its virtual button, and a menu appears amongst which is Screenshot. The menu is easily configurable in Settings and you may find AssistiveTouch to be far more than a mere workaround.

Hi ~ Good to hear and you're welcome! If you ever want to reduce the size of your screenshots, it's easy to automate the process via a custom shortcut created in Apple's Shortcuts app. Someone created the one below which, once installed, can be modified however you want (which is a good way to learn)...

Thanks for your reply. I think I was following the instructions exactly. Is there anything that I should pay special attention to? Right now, regardless of whether I use the volume + or - in combination with the right side button (pressed at the same time) , I get to the power off screen.

The assistive technology seems to be a work around. I will have to look into that.
