Capturing whatever is currently on your screen is simple: just press the side button and volume up button on your iPhone and you will take an internal picture of your screen and send a PNG file to your Recents album. But what if you want to take a longer screenshot that exceeds the length of your iPhone screen? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is a longer screenshot useful? To prevent the confusion of referencing or sharing multiple files such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conversations<\/li>
Recipes and Instructions<\/li>
Articles<\/li>
Comment Threads<\/li>
To-Do Lists<\/li>
Directions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
You could take multiple screenshots and stitch them together using a third-party app. (We\u2019ll discuss screenshots-stitching apps and when they might come in handy later in this article.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or you can take a scrolling screenshot natively in fewer steps as long as you are capturing content in Apple\u2019s first-party apps like Safari, Mail, or iMessage. Just follow these steps if you are using iOS 14 or later on your iPhone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to screenshot an entire document, email, or webpage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Note that iPhone scrolling screenshots get saved as PDFs unlike a one-page screenshot, which gets saved as a PNG.:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Press the side button and the volume up button simultaneously to take a screenshot of what is currently displayed on your screen. <\/li>
Before it disappears, tap the thumbnail of the captured screenshot to open the viewer in the lower left corner of your screen.<\/li>
Tap \u201cFull Page\u201d in the top right corner (the full page option only appears when your content exceeds your screen,<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Preview all the pages and add markup as needed.<\/li>
Crop the full-page screenshot in case you only want a portion of it. <\/li>
Tap Done > Save to PDF or tap the share icon to send it straight away. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
And there you go. You only need to take one screenshot to capture multiple pages of an email thread, document, or webpage. If you prefer an image to a PDF file format, scroll down to read about third-party apps you can use instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip: <\/strong>When taking a full screenshot of a webpage, enter the reader view (if the website supports it) to avoid advertisements. You can even change your browser settings to enter reader view automatically on every webpage you visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to screenshot a text conversation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
if you want to take a long screenshot within a messaging app (iMessage, Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram), I do not recommend using the full page feature. You will be stuck with a very long, inconvenient screenshot that captures the entire chat history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You have two options: Take a screen recording instead (the file will be in video format), or use a third-party app to stitch individual screenshots together<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Third-party apps to capture scrolling screenshots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
And though Apple’s built-in full page screenshotting capability is nice, there are times when it isn’t available. The following screenshot-stitching apps are great if you want to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a scrolling screenshot in a web browser other than Safari<\/li>
Make a compilation of screenshots from various apps stitched together such as a webpage + a text + a receipt<\/li>
Make a scrolling screenshot of a conversation in any messaging app.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The coolest part about these apps is that they automatically stitch out the overlapping areas of your screenshots to create one seamless screenshot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
