Apple worked out its operating system in the smallest details and added various features that simplify the use of the smartphone. One of these chips is the ability to make a screen. On iPhone 6, this operation is no different from all previous generations of the line. Let's see what ways you can create a screenshot.
What is it for?
Creating a screenshot is a convenient opportunity for those who want to quickly and quickly save content from the screen in a couple of movements. The screen is saved in the usual image format and remains in your gallery. Thus, you can easily “capture” someone’s message, take a snapshot of alerts, and so on.
Standard features of the operating system include this function, as on the competitive platform - Android. You have two methods that allow you to take a screen on iPhone 6: hold down the physical buttons or install third-party applications. First, we will analyze the first option.
Create a screenshot with a combination of buttons
Throughout the procedure, two buttons are used - “Home” and “Power”. The first is located under the display on the front panel, and the second is on the upper end. Both keys must be clamped simultaneously and held for several seconds.
How to understand that you managed to make a screen screen on iPhone 6? Very simple. After holding the corresponding keys, the image on the screen should blink once. Also, the process will be accompanied by a corresponding camera shutter sound.
A notification appears in the notification line that the screenshot has been saved in the “Photo”. Open the gallery. A new folder with screenshots will appear in it, if you have not done them before. Such a chip appeared in recent updates to the operating system. Previously, screenshots were saved in a shared directory.
Screens after OS update
In iOS 11, developers introduced new features, including a built-in editor when creating a screenshot. You can make a screen on iPhone 6 after the update in the same way as before. However, after holding the buttons, you will see a small icon in the lower corner of the screen. Click on it to go to the image editing menu. Here you can immediately crop, rotate, apply a filter to the picture and quickly save it to the gallery. Now the user can quickly add captions to screenshots, which increases the range of use of pictures - you can send a picture to a friend, explain any actions to an inexperienced person who is far from you, sending a screen by mail or through a social network.
Third-party software
If you need advanced features, then welcome to the App Store - there you will find many applications that will allow you to make a screen on iPhone 6 or any other since the fifth generation.
A simple utility called Screenshots will help not only create screenshots, but also engage in their editing. Another similar application is Awesome Screenshots. Allows you to work with screenshots of web pages, quickly access them and scan their contents. It can be installed separately for the standard Safari browser. After that, you need to enable the extension in the settings so that the browser starts working with Awesome Screenshots.
