How Do You Take a Screenshot on iPhone SE?

Published in iPhone Screenshots 2 mins read

To take a screenshot on your iPhone SE, you simply need to simultaneously press and quickly release the side button and the volume up button. This action captures the current display on your screen.

Step-by-Step Guide to Taking a Screenshot on iPhone SE

Capturing your screen on an iPhone SE (2nd or 3rd generation, which have a side button) is a quick and effective way to save information or images. Here's how:

  1. Locate the Necessary Buttons: Identify the side button (found on the right side of your iPhone) and the volume up button (located on the left side, towards the top).
  2. Press Simultaneously: Press both the side button and the volume up button at the same time.
  3. Quick Release: Quickly release both buttons immediately after pressing them. You will notice a brief flash on your screen and, if your sound is on, hear a camera shutter sound, confirming that the screenshot has been taken.

Managing Your Screenshot After It's Taken

Once a screenshot is captured, your iPhone provides immediate options for interacting with it:

  • Temporary Thumbnail: After you take a screenshot, a thumbnail temporarily appears in the lower-left corner of your screen. This small preview allows for quick access.
  • Open and Edit: To view, edit, crop, mark up, or share the screenshot immediately, tap the thumbnail. This will open it in a dedicated editing interface.
  • Dismiss and Save: If you wish to simply save the screenshot without immediate action, you can swipe left on the thumbnail to dismiss it. The screenshot will automatically be saved to your Photos app, usually within the "Screenshots" album.

This straightforward method allows you to easily capture and manage any content displayed on your iPhone SE screen.
