How to Use the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max and iPhone XR

How to Take a Screenshot With the iPhone XR, XS and XS Max

The edge-to-edge display that stretches across the face of the latest iPhones means the end of the home button you’ve come to know over the last decade. And that means learning brand new ways to interact with your device.

Take screenshots, for example. When you wanted to capture something on your iPhone’s screen, all you had to do in the past was press the power and home buttons simultaneously. That’s difficult to do when there’s no home button to press.

Fortunately, capturing a screenshot on Apple's newest handsets is just as easy as before, even if the method has changed. Here’s how it’s done. —Caitlin McGarry

1. Press the side and volume up button at the same time, then quickly release.

2. The screenshot appears at the bottom left of your screen.

3. Tap on the image to edit it, or swipe it to the left to banish it from the display. If you tap to edit, you can choose whether to save the screenshot to your Camera Roll or delete it.

    I tried several times and this only brings up a screen to let you "slide" to make it go off. What am I doing wrong?

    Tried adding an Amazon and and PayPal CC and it denied me. Before I got this phone, both of the cards were signed up and working fine.

    After years of using Android, I changed to an iPhone ONLY because iPhone can stream audio to my hearing aids. After 2 weeks with the iPhone there are several clearly inferior characteristics. Most annoying is that you cannot close all open apps at once. The requirement to swipe each open app up or possibly do three at once is garbage. it is extremely difficult to switch between apps as will, something I did frequently on my clearly superior Android phones. Also, Android has apps that allow you to record phone calls but Apple doesn't, claiming that it is illegal in a lot of places. It's also legal in a lot of places. The iPhone function to swipe to get to the open apps is a joke (Android just requires a touch) and the procedure to get to the previous screen when browsing is also laughable compared to Android.
