So far, this feature is only supported by Safari browser. To screenshot third-party apps on an iPhone, you will need to download apps like Picsew or Tailor.

  1. Take a screenshot as usual.
  2. Tap to open the preview, located in the bottom-left corner of the screen, before it disappears.
  3. Choose Full Page, located toward the top-left side of the screen.

After taking a screenshot on your iPhone 15, you can interact with the screenshot directly from the preview thumbnail toolbar. You may also wonder where screenshots can be found after that preview disappears.

Once the thumbnail disappears, you can find screenshots by opening the Photos app, selecting Albums, and then tapping Screenshots.

That’s how to take screenshots on iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max! It’s a pretty easy thing to do, but you may need to do it properly for it to work.
