Take a screenshot using the iPhone 8 Assistive Touch

iOS includes a feature called Assistive Touch which provides an onscreen menu of shortcuts to various iPhone functions. This menu can be helpful if you have difficulty pressing certain buttons or if you need to use your iPhone with one hand.

Taking a screenshot on the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus is very similar to taking a screenshot on older models of the iPhone. To take a screenshot, simply press and hold the Side button and Volume Up button at the same time. A white flash will indicate that the screenshot has been taken. The screenshot will then be saved in your Photos app.

If you have an iPhone 8 or 8 Plus with Assistive Touch enabled, you can also take a screenshot by pressing and holding the Assistive Touch button and then tapping Screenshot.

Step by Step

To enable Assistive Touch, go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch and toggle the switch to turn it on. On the same screen, locate the option labeled as “Customize Top Level Menu” and tap on it to open. You will then see different icons. Tap on the Custom button represented by a Star icon. Scroll down and tap to select Screenshot from the list. Doing so will add the screenshot option to your Assistive Touch menu.

To take a screenshot using Assistive Touch, open the menu and tap on the Screenshot icon. The screen will flash white and the screenshot will be saved in your Photos app.

Where to Locate Screenshots on your iPhone 8

When you take a screenshot on your new iPhone, it’s automatically saved to your Photos app. If you want to view it or share it with someone, you can do so from the Photos app.

Under the “Media Types” section, select “Screenshots.” Here, you’ll see all of the screenshots that you’ve taken on your iPhone.

To share a screenshot, tap on it to open it, then tap the share icon (the square with an arrow pointing up). From here, you can share the screenshot using any of the available options.
