Screenshots, who wouldn't! Can't you press the volume + and power keys at the same time (iPhone 8 and earlier models are power button + HOME key)?
Although this operation is simple, there are many tricks hidden in it. Found that no, after using the iPhone screenshot, a thumbnail will be kept in the lower left corner of the screen. Maybe you will find this feature useless, even obstructive, and quickly slide it off the screen every time.
In fact, this small window hides a lot of practical functions, including annotation, quick sharing, long screenshots, watermarks, etc., and does not lose those third-party picture editing APPS at all.
Several quick riot operations
After taking a screenshot, you can click on this thumbnail to crop, annotate, and other operations, which is just one of its most basic functions. In fact, many times we take screenshots to share with friends, for this need, there is actually a more convenient gesture operation.
Just press and hold this thumbnail after the screenshot, and then select AirDrop and third-party apps such as QQ and WeChat in the pop-up window, or even print directly. Of course, you can also long press and gently drag, "pick it up", use the other hand to open other apps, and then "put it down". This operation also simulates the basic operation of people's subconscious and is a skill that does not require special learning.
Moreover, this function can be realized in many APPS, not only QQ, WeChat, but also the system's own email, memos, documents and other applications are no problem, and the applicability is also quite wide.
In addition to direct sharing, many times our screenshots are to save the text information in the picture, combined with the new live text function of iOS 15, we can quickly process this information. You don't even have to open the album, you can call it directly in the screenshot screen.
After opening the thumbnail after the screenshot, click the stroke button at the top and select the live text icon in the lower right corner to quickly scan and recognize the text in the screenshot. Not only can you copy and paste, but also translate directly, and even make a phone call or navigate to an address, eliminating a lot of cumbersome processes, and strongly trying this one-stop experience can greatly improve the efficiency of operation.
After cutting, you can take notes directly
After the screenshot, it is often necessary to write and draw on it, annotate some key points - iOS's picture annotation function is very powerful, there are many brushstrokes at the bottom for selection, and it is difficult to draw the key points, mosaics and other operations. Combine tools such as rulers and rope sleeves, and even use them to paint, depending on how you play.
Coupled with some of the system's own marker symbols (such as arrows, etc.), these materials can also adjust the length, curvature, etc., the degree of freedom is very high, very suitable for note-taking.
If you don't like the symbols that come with the system, then why not try to draw them yourself? Of course, this is also a skill, everyone after drawing a graphic for a short stay, the system will automatically generate standard graphics, common circles, rectangles, five-pointed stars are supported. As for the arrow, just draw a straight line and return to a small segment, it will be generated directly, which is very convenient.
In fact, in the lower right corner of the plus sign, there are many practical functions, I most commonly use is the amplifier, directly let a certain area highlighted, or let the background blur process, both highlight the point, but also to avoid leaking private information, easy to use and safe.
Who said the iPhone doesn't support long screenshots
Some users feel that the iPhone's screenshot function is not easy to use, the biggest reason is that it does not support long screenshots. But this problem, Apple has long provided a solution.
The simplest is to take a long screenshot through Safari - after a normal screenshot, click "Full Page" at the top and then save the full page as a PDF, and then you can view it in the "Files" app that comes with the system.
Perhaps the file application is rarely opened, but it is actually a very powerful management tool. For example, PDF files that generally need to be opened by installing a reader can be browsed directly with it, and you can also use search keywords, annotations and other functions to meet most basic needs.
If you think that a PDF file is not convenient enough, you can also convert it to a picture format such as PNG or JPEG through a tool such as PhotoShop - don't think it is very troublesome, in fact, you only need to open the PDF file and save it as a picture format. Or use online file conversion tools (such as https://convertio.co/zh/), which can also be output to doc (text), EPUB (e-book), HTML (web page) and other formats for ease of use.
Maybe you'd say that it doesn't seem useful to only take long screenshots in a web page? In fact, the common WeChat, Weibo and other three-party APP provide the function of using the browser to open, which can also achieve the same effect. Use some imagination, such as Baidu Library and other pages that need TO BE DOWNLOADed by VIP – shhh, I didn't say anything.
In fact, many of the system's own applications support long screenshot function, such as memos, emails, Pages (that is, Apple version of Word), etc., but they are the same as Safari, are very "proud" APP, want to use the long screenshot function, you must put the icon on the desktop, if it is in the folder can not oh.
Some easy-to-use third-party tools
Seeing this, did you find yourself underestimating the screenshot function of the iPhone before? If you have to pick a thorn, the screenshot function that comes with the system cannot be implemented in a third-party APP, which is actually easy to do.
Young people love to use the mobile phone QQ has a powerful screen-taking function, after the chat interface screenshot, the bottom of the software interface will appear "screenshot screen" option, click to select the dialogue that needs to be taken, and then automatically complete the splicing. As for the web page, it is even more difficult to defeat it, and it can also be saved directly as a file in JPG format, which is very convenient.
On the left is Quick Spelling, and on the right is PicTailor
What if you want to stitch together Your WeChat chat history?
In fact, there are many similar tools in the App Store, I recommend using the speed spelling and PicTailor these two, they are free software, but the quick spelling will automatically generate a screenshot with a watermark, fortunately, the watermark is at the bottom of the picture, directly cut it off.
The difference is that the former supports custom stitching, and fine-tune the splicing area to get better results; the latter can wear shell screenshots, support the addition of iPhone, iPad, AppleWatch and other Apple device shells, share such pictures, the sense of luxury comes up at once.
Through the built-in screenshot function, coupled with these third-party APP assistance, do you still feel that the iPhone's screenshot function is not easy to use now?
