Hi


AssistiveTouch (an Accessibility feature) can be used to take screenshots by tapping on the screen, one-handed.


For example:


  • Go to: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch.
  • Turn on AssistiveTouch.
  • Tap on Customise Top Level Menu... > tap on the Custom (star) icon > tap on Screenshot > tap on Done (upper-right).
  • Afterwards, to take a screenshot at any time: tap on the floating menu button > tap on Screenshot.
