How to Take a Screenshot on iPhone SE 3 (2022)

by

Need to capture what’s on your iPhone SE 3 screen? Whether you want to save a message, show an app bug, or make a quick tutorial, taking a screenshot is super easy — and there are multiple ways to do it. Here’s how to snap and manage screenshots on your iPhone SE 3 running iOS 15.5 or later.

Method 1: Use the Side + Home Buttons

Since the iPhone SE 3 has a physical Home button, the classic button combo still works:

  1. Press the Side (Power) button and the Home button at the same time.
  2. Release quickly — don’t hold them down.
  3. The screen will flash white, and you’ll hear a shutter sound (if your sound is on).
  4. A small screenshot preview appears in the bottom-left corner. Tap it to edit, or swipe it away to save automatically.

Method 2: Use AssistiveTouch

Can’t use the buttons or just prefer tapping? AssistiveTouch gives you a virtual on-screen menu to take screenshots without pressing anything physical.

  1. Open Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch.
  2. Turn AssistiveTouch ON.
  3. Tap Customize Top Level Menu.
  4. Tap the + icon to add a new control, then choose Screenshot from the list.
  5. Now tap the on-screen AssistiveTouch button > tap Screenshot to take a screen capture.

Method 3: Use Back Tap (Double or Triple Tap the Back of Your Phone)

If you want to take a screenshot by just tapping the back of your phone, Back Tap is a great option.

  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap.
  2. Choose Double Tap or Triple Tap.
  3. Select Screenshot from the list of actions.

Now, double-tap or triple-tap the back of your phone to instantly take a screenshot.

How to Edit a Screenshot

Right after taking a screenshot, a preview appears in the lower-left corner:

  • Tap it to access editing tools.
  • Use tools like pen, highlighter, text, and crop to modify the image.
  • Tap Done when finished to save, or tap the trash icon to delete.
  • Use the Share icon (box with arrow) to send it via Messages, Mail, or social apps.

Where to Find Your Screenshots

All your screenshots are stored automatically in the Photos app:

  1. Open Photos.
  2. Tap the Albums tab.
  3. Scroll down to Media Types and tap Screenshots.

From there, you can browse, edit, or share any screenshot you’ve taken.
