I am not able to take a screenshot anymore on my iPad

I Switched to ‘swipe from corner’ in Accessibility to take screenshots. Just not working effectively so turned off in settings, but now buttons are not working to take screenshots. Please advise?

If your iPad is not behaving as expected, try a forced-restart of your iPad - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
