How to Capture Screenshots on iPad With iPadOS 16 Thru Gestures

Taking a screenshot on your Apple gadget will only require you some click on the buttons. This old method applies to smartphones and iPads. However, there's a new way to do that on the new iPadOS version.

For the iPadOS 16, you can capture a screenshot of the image you want to save without pressing any physical buttons. Through gestures, there are various techniques on how to accomplish this process with ease.

How to Screenshot on iPadOS 16

According to 9to5Mac, one of the simplest methods to screenshot on your iPad is to tap the Home button and the Power button simultaneously.

With the newly-launched iPad OS, you can do some tricks by simultaneously clicking the side and volume buttons. This requires another pressing series to grab a screenshot, but there are more innovative ways to do this.

In fact, you can use your Apple Pencil to screengrab a picture from your iPad. However, not all iPad users have this Pencil, so in this part, the gestures will be the ones to help you out.

1. First, go to the Settings app on your iPad.
2. Access the General menu and select "Gestures."
3. Activate "Allow Fingers to Swipe From the Corner."
4. Finalize the action you want to do when you start to swipe the corners of the screen.

Are There Any Other Gesture Tricks You Can Try?

Aside from the above-mentioned process, there's another way to use gestures, but this time, you won't take any screenshots. A simple finger slide will give you quick access to the Quick Note. You can also do this using an Apple Pencil.

The most interesting part about the iPadOS 16 is how it enables multitasking for every iPad user. You can actually open an app by swiping with your four or five fingers on the home screen.

Of course, you can disable them anytime if you don't want to use gestures anymore on the menu. Just go to Settings and toggle it off on the Gestures menu.

On top of these features, you can also take advantage of the Weather app on iPadOS 16. You can sync it on your device to stay updated on the recent weather patterns and changes near your local area.

OSX Daily reports that column sorting in the files app is now made possible by this update. Aside from this, you can also schedule your email sending in the mail app and change the file extension in the files app.

Likewise, you can undo sending your emails to your workmates or boss. Through the Messages app, you can edit and unsend iMessages, as well.

Soon enough, Apple might add another set of features before the year ends. It's also time to release another version of iPadOS if all goes according to plan.
