How to take a long screenshot in any iPhone app
Full Page screenshots only work in apps that support them. To get a long screenshot in any other app, use a tool that captures while you scroll. With OneScroll you tap Long Screenshot in Control Center, share your entire screen, scroll down and stop. It works in almost any app because it reads what is on the screen instead of asking the app for the page.
Why Full Page doesn't work everywhere
When you tap Full Page, iOS asks the app to hand over the whole page. An app that hasn't been built to answer simply doesn't show the option. That is why it is there in Safari and missing in most messaging, social and shopping apps. More on that in scrolling screenshot on iPhone.
How capturing while you scroll works
Since iOS 27, an app can keep capturing your whole screen while you use other apps, once you choose to share it. OneScroll uses that to watch the page move as you scroll. It finds where each new stretch overlaps the last one and joins them on your iPhone, as you go. The Dynamic Island and the recording indicator are removed from the result, and the status bar is trimmed unless you choose to keep it.
Steps
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
You don't need to open OneScroll first. Start from Control Center on the page you want.

What it works with
Chats, social feeds, articles, shopping pages and documents: anything that scrolls vertically in one column.
What can't be captured
- Protected content. Some videos and password fields record as black. iOS protects them, and no screen capture app can see them.
- Motion. A long screenshot is a still image, so a video that plays while you scroll ends up as one frame.
- Notification banners that appear during the capture are part of the screen. Turn on Do Not Disturb first.
- Sideways scrolling isn't supported, and neither is iPad. Within one capture, scroll in one direction only, down or up.
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.
Common questions
Do I have to open OneScroll before every capture?
No. Once the Long Screenshot control is in Control Center, you start and stop from there, on the page you want.
Does it work in apps that block screenshots?
Content that iOS protects, such as some videos and password fields, comes out black in any screen capture app.
Does it save a video of my screen?
No. Only the finished long screenshot is saved, to Photos. The frames used to build it aren't kept or uploaded.
Which iPhones are supported?
Any iPhone running iOS 27 or later.
OneScroll is our app. The other methods on this page are described as fairly as we can.
