Why Can’t I Take a Screenshot on My iPhone 11?
Have trouble taking screenshots on your iPhone 11? There could be lots of causes for that, but here are a few common ones and what to do about them:
Not Pressing Buttons at the Same Time: If you’re following the instructions but not getting a screenshot, it could be that you haven’t quite mastered the procedure yet. You have to press both buttons at precisely the same time. Otherwise, your iPhone will think you’re just pressing individual buttons one right after the other. Try a few practice presses, and you’ll get it. Buttons Aren’t Working: If you’re trying to take screenshots using the buttons and it’s not working, your buttons might not be functional. It could happen due to a case interfering with the button; try taking the case off and putting it back on. Buttons could also be broken (or breaking); test that by using them for other activities. General Bugginess: Sometimes iPhones get a little buggy for no apparent reason. Try restarting your iPhone; that will solve most general bugginess. If that doesn’t work, see (and install) an update to the iPhone’s operating system (called iOS). New OS versions often include bug fixes.
