Scrolling screenshots are incredible when you want to capture an entire webpage, or a chat with someone, in a single screenshot. However, as the feature is not that wildly marketed by Apple, many users don’t know whether the feature exists natively, and how to use it if it does.

Well, here’s the good news: the scrolling screenshot iPhone feature is here, and it works well in some first-party apps — but that’s it. If you have been trying to take a scrolling screenshot in other apps, you may have had a hard time wondering how to do that.

But don’t worry, this article has all the answers you need! Read on to find out how to take scrolling screenshots on iPhones.

Part 1. Take a Scrolling Screenshot on iPhone without Third-Party Apps

In certain apps, you can take a long screenshot iPhone without any third-party app needed. The built-in feature for that comes baked into the system, and it’s pretty easy to use.

However, be noted that you can take iPhone long screenshots only in some supported apps, namely Safari and Google Chrome. With the built-in feature, you can capture entire web pages on your browser on a single screenshot, but you can’t use this feature in other apps, like WhatsApp and chatting apps.

Here’s how to take an iPhone scrolling screenshot using this feature:

  • Open a web page in Safari. Take a screenshot.
  • Tap the floating screenshot popup on the bottom-left corner.
  • Tap “Full Page” at the top.

    replace iphone battery
  • Crop the screen as per your needs.
  • Tap “Done”.

Part 2. Use Third-Party Apps to Take a Scrolling Screenshot on iPhone

If you want to take a long screenshot in iPhone in apps that don’t support the built-in feature, you need to use a third-party app for it. You see, Apple doesn’t have a feature to take long screenshot iPhone in all apps.

There are various third-party apps you can use to take a long screenshot on iPhone, and it’s easy to download and start using them.

Here’s how to take full page screenshot iPhone using the top 4 apps for the purpose.

1. ScrollingScreenshot

ScrollingScreenshot

As the name suggests, this app helps you take scrolling screenshots on iPhones, and it claims to be the first app that actually does it.

To use it, you have to select it in the “Screen Recording” long-press menu in the control center

  • However, the obvious downside to using this is that it doesn’t replace the native screenshot button gesture. All the screenshots you take using the Side and Volume button will still be taken using the built-in tool.

2. Scrolling Record

Scrolling Record

Another high-rated app on the App Store for taking long screenshots is Scrolling Record. It does only one simple thing: let you open an app and take a long screenshot in it. Plus, it also comes with some built-in editing features so you can crop and resize screenshots on the spot.

  • But just like the previous option, it doesn’t replace the native screenshot gesture, so it may not be as user-friendly to use.

3. Screenshot .

The name of this one is quite strange with the unnecessary “.” at the end — but it gets the job done nonetheless. This handy app lets you take scrolling screenshots in various apps, just like the last one.

  • However, the downside is there are in-app purchases you need to make to use the full, ad-free version of the app.
  • Plus, it doesn’t work with the system’s screenshot gesture, so it may not as convenient to use.

4. Scrolling Screenshot Pro

Scrolling Screenshot Pro

This app takes a screen recording of your screen, and later stitches it all together into a screenshot. It’s the same approach used by the first app on this list — but it works well.

To use this app, you need to select it under the Screen Recording haptic-touch menu in the Control Center. Then, when you take a screen recording, it will be saved as a scrolling screenshot.

  • The only downside is that the free version comes with ads. You need to purchase the full version to remove them.
