Sentence ● Edited by Rintaro Kaneko ● ASCII

When using a website or LINE, it would be convenient to be able to quickly take a screenshot of the current screen and record it. To take a screenshot on your iPhone, you can press the power button and the volume up button (or home button) at the same time, but this is not possible immediately and is inconvenient when one hand is occupied.

Therefore, I would like to introduce a method using "Assistive Touch". AssistiveTouch is a function that can be easily called by registering gestures and functions that are often used on iPhone in advance.

From the settings, tap "General" → "Accessibility". Then tap "Assistive Touch"-> "Single Tap" to register "Screenshot".

Now you can always see the AssistiveTouch icon and take a screenshot with just one tap.
