iOS offers some techniques if you take the time to learn them. This one was passed on by my wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The accessibility features often are ignored if you don’t face difficulties in dealing with your Apple devices. These features can turn out to be quite useful to all of us. I take quite a few screen captures to use in my blog tutorials or just to remember things. I seem to struggle with the simultaneous two button push required to capture the screen. Often, my fingers are slightly out of synch and I change the volume or try to turn off my phone. There is an alternative that works great and is so easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The iPhone will recognize taps on its back – two or three taps – and you can assign these inputs to actions. I have no idea how this works because my phone is in a case, but somehow it works. A double tap to capture the screen works great. The setup takes several steps, but is not difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
