How to Screenshot on iPad (2024 Guide) – Go Health Pro

A screenshot is one of the best features offered on all mobile devices. Whether you want to save a specific Twitter thread, or a recipe, or capture anything that appears on your device, this is the perfect feature to do so.

It’s a simple feature yet it can be a bit confusing to use on iPads. Many users do not know how to screenshot on iPad properly. I was also confused about it when I first switched from an Android tablet to an iPad.

Fortunately, I figured it out pretty quickly, and now I want to share the method with you as well. In this article, I’ll cover different ways you can take a screenshot on your iPad easily. Let’s start. 

There are numerous methods to take a screenshot on iPad from which you can choose the most appropriate and easy one in order to capture a specific moment from a video, social media or more. You can capture a specific moment via your iPad’s home button, volume buttons, or Assistive Touch functionality. Here is a step-by-step instruction on taking a screenshot from your iPad via using multiple methods:

• Look for the home button present on your iPad.
• Locate the top power button on your iPad.
• Press both the Home and the top buttons simultaneously.

• If these buttons are pressed correctly, you will experience a white flash on your entire iPad’s screen.
• The screenshot will be captured and saved in the Photo Library.
• If you are facing problems while capturing a moment then try pressing the home button first, then press the top button and release both buttons instantly.

You can easily take a screenshot on those iPads that do not have a home button, as you only have to press the volume buttons by following the same method that is described below:

• Find the volume buttons on your iPad as in some models these are present on the right sides, and some have these buttons on top.
• Press the top and the volume up button at the same time to capture a screenshot.

• If both of these buttons are pressed correctly then the screenshot will be saved in the Photos application.

There are multiple ways to capture a screenshot from which iPad users can easily take it without facing any difficulty. Here is a step-wise procedure on how to take a screenshot without using the button combinations:

• Go to the Settings app.
• Tap on General.
• Go to Accessibility.
• Tap on Touch.
• Click on AssistiveTouch.

• Then click on the button present at the top of the iPad’s screen.
• You can also turn on AssistiveTouch from a chatbot assistant by saying “Turn on AssistiveTouch”.
• A small virtual button will appear on your iPad’s screen.
• Tap on the assistive touch button from the top of the screen.
• Go to Device and Click More.
• Select Screenshot.

• You must press the top and the volume buttons quickly at the same time in order to take an instant screenshot.
• You can also edit the screenshot by tapping on it after capturing it from the lower left corner of the iPad screen.
• In order to see a saved screenshot you can go to the Photos app to access it.
• You can also save the screenshot as a PDF file by tapping on the screenshot from the lower left corner of the screen to open the editing menu and then and click on Save PDF.
• You can directly share your screenshot with your friends and family from the editor menu while making some changes to it.

Taking a screenshot on iPad is an extremely easy process that allows every user to capture a specific moment in less time. This feature allows you to capture valuable moments from a video clip, and save multiple cooking recipes, and any other text snippets. The procedures mentioned above in this guide are highly beneficial for both old and new iPad users. So, you can instantly take screenshots.
