How to take a long screenshot on iPhone

iPhone has a built-in Full Page option, but it only appears in apps that support it, such as Safari. Everywhere else you can take several screenshots and stitch them together, or use a scroll-capture app such as OneScroll, which stitches while you scroll and saves one image to Photos.

Way 1: Full Page, built into iPhone

1. Take a screenshot: press the side button and the volume up button at the same time. On iPhone SE, press the Home button and the side button.
2. Tap the screenshot thumbnail in the lower-left corner, if one appears.
3. Tap Full Page. Drag the preview on the right to see the rest of the page.
4. Crop if you like, then save.

This is the quickest way to capture a whole webpage in Safari. The limit is that Full Page only shows up when the app you are in supports it. In most messaging, social and shopping apps it isn't there, and you get an ordinary one-screen screenshot.

Way 2: Take several screenshots and stitch them

1. Take a screenshot of the first screen.
2. Scroll down, leaving a few lines of overlap, and take the next one. Repeat to the end.
3. Combine the screenshots in a stitching app or with the Shortcuts app.

This works in any app, but it is slow. A long chat can take ten screenshots or more, and it is easy to skip a part or put two pieces in the wrong order. The details are in how to stitch screenshots together on iPhone.

Way 3: Scroll once with OneScroll

OneScroll uses iOS screen sharing to see the page while you scroll, and stitches it on your iPhone as you go. It doesn't depend on the app you are capturing, so it works in almost any app.

1. Once only: add the Long Screenshot control to Control Center. Swipe down from the top-right corner, touch and hold an empty area, tap Add a Control, then search for OneScroll.
2. Open what you want to capture and stay where the image should begin. Open Control Center, tap Long Screenshot, and choose to share your entire screen.
3. Scroll down at an even pace. When you reach the end, tap the red recording indicator at the top of the screen and choose Stop.

A few seconds later the long screenshot is in Photos as one image, and you get a notification. Tap it to crop the start and end or to share.

OneScroll needs an iPhone with iOS 27 or later. Your first 5 long screenshots are free; after that a one-time purchase unlocks unlimited use, with no subscription. Everything is stitched on your iPhone and nothing is uploaded.

Which way should you use?

For a webpage in Safari, use Full Page. For two or three screens, stitching by hand is fine. For long chats, feeds and pages in apps without Full Page, scrolling once is faster and less error-prone.
