We use the iPhone so advanced that we want to create guides and video guides to be published on the site or on YouTube "> Best Apps to edit photos on iPhone and iPad with filters and effects How to take screenshots on iPhone
The screenshots are the basis of any Apple-themed tutorial: if we intend to show how a particular app works, how to unlock a secret function or how to reach a certain menu, we will only have to take a photo of the "moment" required and insert it into the inside an article for a blog or for the site we are writing for.
Taking a screenshot on the iPhone is very simple and the use of external apps is not required: make sure you have the latest version of iOS (we can check it at any time by tapping on Settings -> General -> Software Update ) and then we make screenshots of the screen (by opening the app, the menu or the situation we are interested in) by pressing the unlock button and the button to increase the volume (volume +) simultaneously on iPhone X.
If we have a previous model of iPhone still supported by Apple (from iPhone 5s up to iPhone 7) it will be enough to hold down the home button and the lock button for a few seconds.
The position of the lock button changes from model to model: for example on the latest iPhones (not X) the lock button is lateral.
If, on the other hand, we have an iPhone 5 or 5s, the lock button is located at the top of the device.
All screenshots will be saved in the iPhone gallery, ready to be shared on social networks, to be shared on chats or to be imported on the PC or Mac so as to create the article for which it was necessary to make the screenshots.

The videos made will be saved in the iPhone Gallery ready to be uploaded on YouTube, on chats, on social networks or transferred to the PC to make improvements or add the background voice.
The best programs to record screen on iPhone
