How to take a screenshot on iPhone without using buttons

You should know the button combination for taking screenshots on iPhone. If your iPhone has a home button, you can take a screenshot by pressing the home button and power button at the same time. How to Take Screenshots Without Buttons on iPhone Models without a home button have a shortcut that combines the side button and the volume up button. But what to do when the buttons on your iPhone fail? Don't worry. There are other ways to take screenshots. Here's how to take a screenshot on your iPhone without using the home button, power button, or volume up button.

How to take a screenshot with AssistiveTouch

This method, which allows you to take screenshots on models without a home button, enables AssistiveTouch on your iPhone. This is one of the features that allows you to access many functions through software menus instead of using buttons. It's useful if you have difficulty pressing buttons or using gestures, or if your iPhone's buttons are broken. To enable AssistiveTouch, go to Settings > Accessibility and select Touch under Physical functions and actions. Select AssistiveTouch and turn on the AssistiveTouch slider at the top of the screen. Doing so will add a white dot overlay button to your screen. Then, every time you tap this AssistiveTouch icon, a menu will open, giving you instant access to various functions. To add the screenshot feature to your menu, select Customize top-level menu on the Settings page. Now, tap the icon you want to replace and select "Screenshot" from the list of actions. Alternatively, you can add another icon by tapping the plus button to create a new screenshot shortcut. You can also use shortcuts without tapping the menu to be able to take screenshots quickly. In the main AssistiveTouch menu, select the "Double Tap" or "Long Press" option and set it to "Screenshot". Then you can double tap or long press the AssistiveTouch button to take a screenshot. This method is convenient because you don't have to display a full menu that takes up screen space. If the AssistiveTouch button is conspicuous, you can increase the transparency when not in use by lowering the "Idle opacity" in the menu. You may also find the "Create New Gesture" option useful.
