Difficulty taking screenshots

iPhone 11- I just wanted to provide feedback to Apple referencing the screenshot functionality. As someone who suffers from severe rheumatoid arthritis, it’s difficult for me to press both buttons at the same time in order to obtain a screenshot. Is there an easier way? Or can that be improved upon in the future? Thanks for letting me vent this frustration.

Hello, here's what you can do. Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Accessibility Shortcut. Then tap on the AssistiveTouch to make it enables. You may have to tap the power button 3 times. After that a semi-transparent black dot will pop up on the screen. Tap the dot and then a menu type of thing (icons and with labels) will expand. And you will have 5-6 options like Device, Custom, Gestures, Home, etc. You should tap on Device. Then More. Then you should see screenshot. And there you go.


Hope this helps. If you need more help just reply.

Enable Voice Control and taking a screen shot can be verbal.


See >>> https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT210417


"take screenshot" is a default command it will recognize. You can even ask Siri to turn on/off Voice Control once set up.
