I worded my question wrong . When I take a screenshot on my IPhone 11 it only gives me photo of my Home Screen?

I press the up volume button and home button for second , but no matter what I point the camera at it only shows the Home Screen. I even reversed the phone and got the same results.

iPhone 11, iOS 16

I think I already explained this. I knew you were taking screenshots.

I told you….


You are taking screenshots. You are pressing two buttons at the same time. That’s not how to take a photo.


Take a photo

Open Camera, then tap the Shutter button or press either volume button to take the shot.
