The current methods of triggering a screenshot are straightforward. There are minor differences between models with and without a physical Home Button - and for recent versions of iPadOS, there are several available methods to trigger the screenshot.


By far the easiest method to trigger and save a screenshot is to set-up and use the corner-swipe gesture - this gesture being usable with both a finger or Apple Pencil:


  • Open the Settings app on your iPad
  • Go to the General menu and then choose the Gestures option
  • Make sure “Allow Finger to Swipe From Corner” is enabled
  • Choose the action you want (Screenshot) when swiping from either (or both) the left and right corners


Now that you have enabled the corner swipe, you can easily capture a screenshot with just your finger (or Apple Pencil). Just swipe diagonally from the lower-left or lower-right corner of the screen towards the centre; this will immediately trigger the screenshot.
