If pressing multiple buttons at once seems a little awkward, simply use one of the handiest Accessibility features on any mobile Apple device: AssistiveTouch.
Open Settings, then navigate to General > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch, then tap the button at the top of the screen to turn it on. After doing so, you’ll see a small virtual button appear onscreen that persists across all open apps. You can also use Siri and say “turn on AssistiveTouch” to get the same result.

From here, you can take a screenshot using the default settings by tapping the button, then navigating to Device > More > Screenshot.
Or, to make things even easier, you can set up one of the Custom Actions (Single-Tap, Double-Tap, or Long Press) to take a screenshot by navigating to the respective menu from the AssistiveTouch settings page. In both cases, you’ll see the same flash of the screen as if you’d done it the old-fashioned way, and your fresh screenshot will be waiting for you in your photo library.
Take a screenshot on any iPhone with AssistiveTouch
Some people find pressing two buttons at once a bit tricky. If this is the case for you, consider using AssistiveTouch.
AssistiveTouch is an iOS accessibility feature that gives you alternative ways to perform a lot of common tasks, avoiding the need to press buttons or perform swiping gestures.
Here's how to enable AssistiveTouch, and set it up to take screenshots.
1. Open the Settings app and then tap "Accessibility."
2. Tap "Touch," and then "AssistiveTouch," and turn the feature on by tapping its switch at the top of the screen.
Now that AssistiveTouch is turned on, you need to choose a way to take screenshots.
3. Select "Double-Tap" and then choose "Screenshot." This makes it so whenever you double-tap the digital AssistiveTouch button, you'll take a screenshot.
