A new iPhone trick goes viral on TikTok and Apple fans love it: BGR

Given that we’re already in the 14th iteration of iOS, it should come as no surprise that the iPhone has all sorts of smart, fun features that are hidden just below the surface. And while Apple routinely highlights new and important iOS features at WWDC each year, the company simply doesn’t have time to cover all the new additions to its mobile operating system.

The end result is that the iPhone you probably have right now reading this article is much more powerful than you probably would. As a first example, a popular video that rounds out TikTok shows how easy it is for users to take a screenshot of an entire web page in Safari for mobile.

While taking a screenshot on its own is simple and can be achieved by simultaneously pressing the side button and the volume up button on the iPhone, everything gets complicated when you want to capture an entire web page. Fortunately, the Apple developers made it very easy for you.

To get started, simply go to the webpage you want to capture and, as you normally would, press the side button and the Volume Up button at the same time. When you do this, you will see a screenshot preview at the bottom left of the screen.

If you tap this image preview once, you’ll be taken to a page where, at the top, you’ll see an option that says “Full Page.” If you select this, you can capture an entire webpage with a single screenshot. And if you’re so inclined, there’s a cropping tool at the top left if you’re not interested in capturing a selected snippet from the entire web page.

Once you’ve cropped the image to your liking, just tap the Done button at the top left, giving you the option to save a PDF version of the webpage to the Files app.

Now, the truth is that this feature has been present in iOS for years and is not really new. Still, with many people still new to the iPhone platform or perhaps unfamiliar with some selective power features, there’s a good chance someone will see this advice and feel impressed.

Needless to say, this particular trick only works in Mobile Safari, meaning it can’t be used to take a snapshot of the whole of one of the text message conversations.

Meanwhile, if history is any indication, WWDC 2021 will take place next June and it will be interesting to see what kind of campaign stick Apple plans to introduce this year. What’s curious about the release of iOS 15 is that we haven’t really seen any significant rumors about the software update, other than the fact that the update is likely to stop being compatible with the iPhone 6 and iPhone SE original.
