 One Button Alternative

A guest commenter, Ele, found an alternative to the “Home+Sleep” option to a screenshot. Her iPad case with keyboard placed a clasp over the “sleep” button making it inaccessible for capturing a screenshot.

Turning on an Accessibility Option in the General Settings creates a floating button on your screen that can be used to capture a screenshot without using the “Home” or “Sleep” buttons.


The floating button can be moved anywhere on your screen. When not in use it fades but never completely goes away. If it is over something else you want to touch on your screen, by touching and dragging the floating button, you can move it out of the way.

This floating button can be activated on either your iPhone or your iPad. The first set of pictures show the steps necessary to activate the floating button. (The pictures below are from my iPhone 4S. On my wife’s iPad the views are similar but not exactly the same).
