Universal access is a function of Assistive Touch. It is intended for people with disabilities, but it is also used by ordinary people.

Faq about screenshots on iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch

In this section I will tell you what else you need to know about screenshots on iOS. I did it in a Question-and-Answer format.

• Where can I find screenshots? In the standard program "Photo". In the "Photos" section (at the bottom) or "Albums" (in the "all photos"album).

• How to download screenshots to your computer? Can be done through export in the iTools program. If iCloud is enabled, screenshots as well as photos get to the cloud. They can be retrieved using the iCloud special app (for Windows) or the Photos app (in OS x Yosemite) or through the website icloud.com ahhh! Also in Windows you can extract screenshots via import. In Windows 8 or 10, you need to do this in the Photos app. Windows 7 and Vista should define iPad as a camera and offer to import Photos (including screenshots).

• In what format does iPad take screenshots? In the format IMG_XXXX.PNG. The format is no different from the photo. Screenshot size is approximately 1.5 megabytes and above (for Retina display). The screenshot resolution is equal to the screen resolution (1024x768 for iPad, iPad Mini 1 and iPad 2; 2048x1536 for iPad 3, 4, Air, Air 2, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini for iPhone and iPod Touch its permissions.

• I can't take a screenshot on my iPad, iPhone or iPod. What to do? If the first method does not help, then try the second. If in the second way the screenshot turned out, then you either have some problem with the Home or Power buttons (bring to the service), or you click them incorrectly. You have to press and release at the same time. Pressing should be very short.

• One day in my practice, the screenshots were not created, helped restart the iPad. What it was I never found out and the problem was not repeated.
