Hey narayan70,


It appears you take a screenshot and you aren't seeing the option to take a full size screenshot. Do you see the Full Page tab after taking a screenshot, tapping the screenshot in the lower left-hand corner? You would need to switch it to Full Page shortly after tapping the screenshot before the option is gone. You can read more about that from the section below, from this article: Take a screenshot or screen recording on iPhone - Apple Support


"Save a full-page screenshot as a PDF

You can take a full-page, scrolling screenshot of a webpage, document, or email that exceeds the length of your iPhone screen, then save it as a PDF.

  1. Do one of the following:
    • On an iPhone with Face ID: Simultaneously press and then release the side button and volume up button.
    • On an iPhone with a Home button: Simultaneously press and then release the Home button and the side button or Sleep/Wake button (depending on your model).
  1. Tap the screenshot in the lower-left corner, then tap Full Page.
  2. Do any of the following: 
    • Save the screenshot: Tap Done, choose Save PDF to Files, choose a location, then tap Save.
    • Share the screenshot: Tap , choose a sharing option (for example AirDrop, Messages, or Mail), enter any other requested information, then send the PDF."


If you're following those steps exactly and still unable to get a full-page screenshot, you can see if restarting your iPhone may help: Restart your iPhone It can seem like a simple step, but it can sometimes help resolve issues.


Another step you can take is to ensure your iPhone is fully updated, to see if that may help as well. If there is an available update, you'll want to backup and update as seen in the articles below:


Take care.
