Apple has a few models in its iPhone portfolio, from the current iPhone SE (2022) and iPhone 14 models, to some older models like the iPhone 13 and iPhone 12 ranges.
While the iPhone 12, iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models feature Face ID technology though, the third generation iPhone SE features Touch ID, like the second generation iPhone SE and the iPhone 6, 7 and 8 models.
If you have a Face ID iPhone, then you'll need to press the side button and volume up simultaneously to take a screenshot. If you have a Touch ID iPhone like the iPhone SE - either from 2022 or 2020, here's what you need to do.
Apple iPhone SE (2022)
The iPhone SE (2022) carries over the design from the second-gen iPhone SE from 2020, and, consequently, the iPhone 8. The display isn't quite as impressive as the other models in the company's portfolio, but it has the same core hardware as the iPhone 13 models, 5G capabilities and a single camera on the rear.
How to take a screenshot on the iPhone SE, or iPhone 6, 7 or 8
To take a screenshot on the Apple iPhone SE (2022), iPhone SE (2020), or the iPhone 6, iPhone 7 or iPhone 8, you'll need to press the power button on the right edge at the same time as the Touch ID home button below the screen.
A screenshot will appear in the bottom left corner of your display when you have successfully taken a screenshot of what is on your display.
How to mark up a screenshot on iPhone SE
When you take a screenshot on iPhone, a small preview appears in the bottom left corner. If you tap on the preview, you'll be taken to a new screen, where you'll find a number of options.
You can either delete the screenshot by tapping on the bin icon in the top right corner, or you can crop the screenshot by pulling down on the corners around the screenshot.
It's also possible to mark up your iPhone screenshot from this page. Tap on any of the pens below the screenshot and you can draw on it as you please. When you are finished, tap on 'Done' in the top left corner.
