screenshot options ipad pro 2
is there a way to designate a long touch on the home button to take a screenshot? Or something similar. Ive tried so many “accessibility” options I’m so confused.

Your physical Home button is already “enabled” - but it cannot be used alone to trigger the screenshot.
To trigger a screenshot, you simultaneously press both the “top” (Sleep/Wake) button and the Home Button.
So, to break this down to reliable sequence that consistently works...
1) Press-and-hold the Top Button
2) Press-and-release the Home Button
3) Release the Top Button
Now, press the buttons in the stated sequence - quickly; the screenshot is triggered at (2). After a little practice, the sequence becomes second-nature - and you will trigger a reliable screenshot every time.

You can also use Assistive Touch, enabled from the iPad’s Accessibility settings, to trigger a screenshot.
The first thing you have to do is turn on AssistiveTouch. To do so, follow the steps below.
Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch - set to ON
The iPad User Guide describes how to add the Screenshot function to Assistive Touch. Here is a link to the relevant section of the Guide:

The Accessibility Shortcut options do not include Screenshot. Perhaps consider using Assistive Touch - which can be configured to include Screenshot:

Thank you for your answer, however as I mentioned, I'm having trouble. Way too complicated. Can I enable my home button to take screenshots?
Why cant I assign triple tap on home button to make a screenshot?
