The need to take a screenshot on an iPhone occurs when a user wants to share a game achievement or part of a conversation with friends on a social network. Taking a picture of the contents of the screen is as easy as shelling pears if the mechanical buttons of the gadget are in order, however, even if one of them is faulty, this is not an obstacle for seasoned and experienced users. The article will talk about several methods on how to take a screenshot on an iPhone.
