Every day we find very interesting information on the net using our iPad that we would like to share with a specific person or with a group. This can be done with a simple screenshot , which is basically a snapshot of our screen at any given time. In this way we can share a specific part of a website or a conversation that we want to share with a friend.
But obviously there are differences between the different iPads in the way of taking a screenshot. We must distinguish in this case making screenshots with iPad with and without Home button.
Screenshots on iPad without Home button
The latest iPad, as with the iPhone, do not include the legendary Home button that allowed us to take screenshots. That is why from Apple they have had to adapt the way of doing them in a really simple way, following the following steps:
- Press the top button where we lock / unlock the iPad.
- Also press the volume up button at the same time.
- Quickly release both buttons when you press them together.
This will generate the screenshot that we will have available as a thumbnail in the lower left corner of our screen. In this way we can easily discard it through a simple slide to the left . If we do not touch it, we can find it in our photo gallery.
Screenshots on iPad with Home button
If you have a lower-end iPad, you will still have the yearning Home button that has accompanied us for many generations. This makes taking screenshots a little easier since it uses a very traditional system that we had on older iPhones. The following steps should simply be followed:
- Press the top button where the iPad is locked or unlocked.
- At the same time press the Home button that we find at the bottom of the equipment.
- Release both buttons immediately.
If everything went well as in the previous case, we should see at the bottom a preview of the capture we have made in order to discard it or keep it.
Edit the capture and send it easily
Sometimes when we take a screenshot, we try to pass specific information on to someone. That is why to facilitate this task Apple allows us to edit these images that we take in a really fast way. Simply touch on the preview that is generated in the lower left corner and through our own finger or with the Apple Pencil we can make notes or highlight important areas.
At the top of the image we will have a large number of tools to make these annotations and edits. Once we have finished we can send the capture as we have edited it through the ‘Share’ button. Using this function of the operating system we will have the possibility to share it with different applications such as Telegram, Mail …
