Swipe to screenshot on iPad

For iPadOS 26, to avoid conflict with window resizing, the corner swipe gesture with your finger is inhibited when using the Windowed Apps and Stage Manager multitasking modes - but remains available using the Full Screen Apps mode. In all modes, the corner-swipe gestures are accessible when triggered with an Apple Pencil.

You can also trigger a screenshot in any multitasking/screen mode by using the physical buttons; simultaneously press the top sleep/wake button along with the nearest volume button.
