There’s a way to add a magnifying lens over part of a screenshot, that zooms in key information.

And you can even fade out the rest of the screenshot, to really add focus to the important part.

It was shared on TikTok by @mikekhieu, where it’s earned dozens of likes.

First, take a screenshot and then tap on the thumbnail in the corner.

Once you’re in the editing screen, press on the plus symbol in the bottom right hand corner.

Then choose Magnifier from the list and you can place a magnifying lens over a part of the image.

Now tap the plus symbol again, choose Opacity, and set it to the maximum level.

This will mostly cover the background, highlighting the magnified element even more.

You don’t have to choose maximum opacity if you prefer a gentle fade.

Tap it!

That’s not the only iPhone screenshot hack you need to know about.

You can also make it a little easier to take regular screenshots.

It’s called Back Tap, and it lets you take screenshots simply tapping the rear of your handset.

To turn on the feature make sure you’ve updated to iOS 14 or later. To do that, go to Settings > General > Software update.

Then go to your Settings.

Scroll down and tap “Accessibility” and then click “Touch”.

Then scroll down to “Back Tap”.

You’ll have the choice to turn on “Double Tap” or “Triple Tap”.

Whichever you select gives you the same options.

Click to see which features you can now control with either a double or triple tap on the back of your phone.

They include taking screenshots, turning the volume up or down, magnifying, scrolling and more.

For example, if you wanted to use a Double Tap to take screenshots, click the “Double Tap” option and then tick “Screenshot”.

Now you should be able to take a screenshot just by tapping the back of your phone twice.

Bear in mind that this feature might not work if you have a thick phone case.

One more thing

And there’s one more trick you need to know.

Apple lets you take full-page screenshots as PDFs.

This can be of a web-page, document or email that is longer than the length of your iPhone screen.

Take a screenshot, go into the editor and then tap Full Page at the top.

You can then save the screenshot by tapping Done, choosing Save PDF to Files, picking a location and pressing Save.

Alternatively you can share the screenshot by tapping the Share icon (a square with an arrow), selecting a sharing option (like Messages or AirDrop) and then sending the PDF.
