    How to Take a Scrolling


    Screenshot on Your iPhone
    A scrolling or full-page screenshot captures more
    than your typical screenshot.

    Apple has a better way to take screenshots.


    Patrick Holland/CNET

    A regular screenshot on your iPhone captures exactly


    what's on your screen -- nothing more, nothing less.
    Unfortunately, that may not always be enough,
    especially if you're trying to capture anything that
    extends past the screen.

    Hidden within iOS is a scrolling screenshot feature


    that allows you to capture multiple pages with only a
    single screenshot. There are third-party apps you
    can use to stitch together individual screenshots and
    create a longer one, but a scrolling screenshot
    makes the process easier.

    What is a scrolling screenshot?


    A full-page screenshot, or scrolling screenshot,
    captures an entire page -- webpage, document or
    email -- without you having to take multiple
    screenshots and then stitch them together. For
    example, if you wanted to screenshot a 116-page
    document in Safari, you would only have to take a
    single screenshot to capture the entire thing.

    How to take a scrolling screenshot


    on your iPhone
    To take a scrolling screenshot, do the following:

    1. First, take a regular screenshot on your iPhone. If


    you have Face ID, quickly press the side button +
    volume up button. With Touch ID, it's side/top button
    + home button.

    2. Tap the screenshot preview that appears in the


    bottom-left corner. It appears for about five seconds,
    so you must be somewhat swift.

    3. Next, go to the Full Page option. Underneath Full


    Page, you'll see a preview of the entire scrolling
    screenshot on the right side, along with a larger
    preview in the middle. You also have tools to crop
    the scrolling screenshot, in case it's too long.

    4. Once you're finished editing the scrolling


    screenshot, hit Done. You'll see two options: one to
    save the scrolling screenshot and another to delete
    it.

    5. Finally, tap Save PDF to Files to save the scrolling


    screenshot.

    You must choose a folder to save the scrolling


    screenshot in. By default, the Files app will select the
    last folder you saved something to or the Downloads
    folder.

    In order to take a scrolling screenshot, you must first take a


    regular screenshot.
    Nelson Aguilar/CNET

    How to view scrolling screenshots


    on your iPhone
    All scrolling screenshots are converted to PDFs, so
    they're saved to the native Files app. To view your
    scrolling screenshot, open the Files app, go to the
    folder in which your screenshot was saved and tap
    the screenshot.

    Here you can rename the file, draw on it, leave


    comments and more. You can also share the
    scrolling screenshot, but the other person must have
    Files or another PDF-reader to view it.

    All your scrolling screenshots live in the Files app.
