Any modern smartphone is equipped with many additional features that simplify its use. This applies to all current platforms - Android and iOS. This article will pay attention to how to make a screen on iPhone 7. The methods differ slightly from those that are provided for users of the Android operating system, however we will analyze them in more detail.
Differences from other generations
IPhone 7 and 7 Plus differ slightly in functionality and management. From generation to generation, developers have left familiar features to users. These include the creation of a screenshot. In all iPhones up to version 6, the power button, with which you can make a screen on iPhone 7, was located on the upper end of the case. Starting with 6 and 6 Plus, the creators moved the Power button to the right side of the phone. Otherwise, the procedure for taking a screenshot remains the same. Let's take a closer look.
Standard way
The first option is to simultaneously press two physical keys on the phone. You need to hold down the Power button, which blocks the device and is located on the right side of the device, as well as the Home button, which is located under the display on the front of the case.
How to understand that you managed to make a screen screen on iPhone 7? After a few seconds of keys being held down, your display should blink once as a flash. Also, when the sound is on, you will hear the shutter. A message will appear on the top notification bar that the image has been saved in "Photos". In new versions of the iOS operating system, the “Screenshots” folder will be automatically created. All screenshots will appear there.
Assist touch
In iOS 11, a new "chip" has appeared, which allows you to make a screen on iPhone 7 with a single tap on the screen. To activate this feature, you must first enable the function in the settings.
Open the settings menu and go to the "General" section. Now find the “Universal Access” subsection in the list. Next, select the Assistive Touch line and enable the function using the slider. A little lower, select "Customize the top-level menu." Go to the menu settings and select the "User" icon. In the list that appears, we find the “Screenshot” function and click on it.
Now a transparent dot appears on the display, when you click on it you will take a screenshot. This function allows you to use the device with one hand. Assistive Touch is especially relevant for those who want to make a screen on an iPhone 7 Plus - on a phone with a large case it is inconvenient to press several keys at the same time.
How to use screenshots?
In iOS 11, a new screenshot editing system has been added. After taking a picture, the icon will appear on the screen. Click on it to open the menu for editing screenshots. In it, you can crop a photo in a couple of taps, apply labels, effects, and so on. Modified images are also saved in the Albums folder.
Open the gallery and select the desired screenshot. Next, click on the icon with a box and an arrow. After that, a menu will open where you can choose to whom to send the file or on which social network to share it with friends. Now you know how to make a screen on iPhone 7 in different ways.
