Scrolling screenshot on iPhone
On iPhone, the scrolling screenshot is called Full Page. It appears after you take a screenshot, but only in apps that support it, such as Safari. Where Full Page is missing, a scroll-capture app like OneScroll does the same job: you scroll, it stitches, and one long image lands in Photos.
What a scrolling screenshot is called on iPhone
Scrolling screenshot, scroll capture, long screenshot and full-page screenshot all mean the same thing: one image that holds more than fits on the screen. Many Android phones show a button after a screenshot that keeps capturing as the page scrolls. iPhone works differently. Its Full Page option asks the app for the whole page in one go, which is why it depends on the app.
How to use Full Page
- Press the side button and the volume up button at the same time.
- Tap the screenshot thumbnail in the lower-left corner, if one appears.
- Tap Full Page, drag the preview on the right to check the page, then crop and save.
Why Full Page is missing
- The app doesn't support it. This is the usual reason. Safari does; most messaging, social and shopping apps don't.
- The screenshot preview isn't open. Full Page is inside the preview, so tap the thumbnail before it slides away.
No setting adds Full Page to an app that doesn't offer it.
Scrolling screenshots in apps without Full Page
OneScroll captures while you scroll, so it doesn't need the app to support anything.
- 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.
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.
Get the whole page in one scroll
OneScroll stitches while you scroll and saves one long screenshot to Photos. 5 free long screenshots, then a one-time purchase.

Tips for a clean result
- Scroll at a steady, moderate speed, in one direction. A hard flick can move the page too far to match up.
- Pause briefly at the end before you stop.
- Turn on Do Not Disturb first, so notification banners stay out of the image.
- Some videos and password fields come out black. iOS protects them from any screen capture.
Common questions
Is there a scrolling screenshot on iPhone like on Android?
The built-in equivalent is Full Page, which works in Safari and other apps that support it. For everything else, a scroll-capture app such as OneScroll captures while you scroll.
Does Full Page work in chat apps?
Usually not. To capture a whole chat, see how to screenshot an entire conversation on iPhone.
Do I need a new iPhone?
Full Page has been part of iOS for years. OneScroll needs iOS 27 or later, because that is the version that lets an app keep capturing the screen while you use other apps.
Can I scroll up or sideways?
With OneScroll you can scroll up as well as down: start at the bottom and scroll up, and the long screenshot still reads top to bottom. Keep to one direction in each capture. Sideways scrolling isn't supported.
OneScroll is our app. The other methods on this page are described as fairly as we can.
