Step 1:Navigate toSettings>Accessibility>Touch>Assistive Touch.

Step 2:Turn onAssistive Touch. Now, you’ll see a small white circle floating on your screen.

Step 3:Tap it and selectDevice>More>Screenshotto take a screenshot.

Fix 3: Use the Back Tap to Take Screenshots

If you don’t like physical buttons or Assistive Touch, try Back Tap. This feature takes screenshots when you double or triple-tap on the back.

Step 1:Navigate toSettings>Accessibility>Touch>Back Tap.

Step 2:SelectDouble TaporTriple Tapand choose theScreenshotoption.

Now, when you tap on the back of your iPhone, it takes a screenshot.
