Taking screenshots with guided acccess on

Hi everyone.

I am trying to take a screenshot with guided access on because it gets rid of that gray bar at the bottom of the screen. However, I cannot take a screenshot because guided access doesn’t allow it. So, I enabled Assistive Touch since it allows me to take a screenshot with a button. However, guided access removes the option to take a screenshot via Assistive Touch, leaving me no way to take a screenshot at all. Is there another way to enable screenshots with guided access on? Any help is greatly appreciated.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 16

I am using Guided Access while trying to take a screenshot so the gray bar at the bottom of the screen is not there. Both of the methods to take screenshots you suggested are disabled with Guided Access on. I would like to know how to take a screenshot WITH Guided Access on.

Hi winitgc,

We tested it out and while it does not appear to be possible to take a screenshot when using Guided Access, you can always send your suggestion using this link: Product Feedback - Apple

Best wishes.

Hey there winitgc,

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We'll be happy to help. To start, it sounds like there's an issue preventing you from following these steps to take a screenshot: Take a screenshot on your iPhone - Apple Support

Since you're using Assistive Touch, try these steps instead: Use AssistiveTouch on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Take care.
