Your iPhone is not only used for snapping photos of your surroundings. You can use this next-gen handheld to grab an instant shot of your screen.

If you own either iPhone 10, 11, 12, or 13, you can simultaneously hold down the side button and the volume up button to grab a shot on your phone's display.

Once the flash appears on the screen or you hear a camera shutter, the screenshot image will appear immediately. You can check it inside your screenshots folder and camera roll.

For iPad users, especially those with iPad mini, iPad Pro, and iPad Air, you just need to press the volume up/down and the top button simultaneously.

Of course, your Apple Pencil can be a screenshot tool, as well. Here's the trick: you need to swipe up using the Apple Pencil to grab a quick shot of the photo.
