Apple iPhones have a clever built-in feature that many users overlook – the ability to take full-page screenshots of websites with just a few taps. This handy tool is perfect for saving long articles, receipts, or any webpage content you want to keep.
How to Use This Secret Screenshot Feature
To capture an entire webpage:
- Take a normal screenshot by pressing the side button and volume up button simultaneously
- Immediately tap on the screenshot thumbnail that appears
- Select the "Full Page" option at the top of the screen
- Scroll through the preview to see the entire captured page
- Tap "Done" and choose to save to Photos or Files
Why This Feature Is So Useful
Unlike standard screenshots that only capture what's visible on screen, this feature saves everything – even content you'd normally need to scroll to see. It's particularly helpful for:
- Saving important documents or receipts
- Capturing entire news articles for offline reading
- Preserving web content that might change or disappear
- Sharing complete information with friends or colleagues
The screenshot saves as a PDF file, making it easy to store and organise. This feature works in Safari and most other browsing apps, though some third-party apps may not support it.
Compatibility Notes
This full-page screenshot function requires iOS 13 or later and works on most modern iPhone models. If you don't see the option, try updating your iOS software to the latest version.
