Now let's see how to take a screenshot without iPhone buttons. You have three different options to get the desired result: AssistiveTouch, Siri and Back Tap.
Starting from the first, you should know that AssistiveTouch is the accessibility feature integrated into all iPhones through which you can access an on-screen menu that allows you to perform many functions that would normally require the use of physical buttons, such as screenshots. You can therefore use this solution to take a screenshot on iPhone without buttons.
All you have to do is go into Settings (by tapping the gear icon that you can find in Home or in the App Library), then go into Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch and move the lever next to AssistiveTouch to ON. Once this is done, you will see the icon of a slightly transparent gray circle appear on the screen. Press on it to open the menu, then tap on the items Device > More > Screenshot to take a screenshot without pressing the buttons.
Another quick solution, ideal for when your hands are busy, that allows you to take screenshots on iPhone without buttons is to ask Siri for help: go to the screen you are interested in, then say "Hey Siri, take a screenshot". The voice assistant present in your "apple phone" will immediately take care of capturing the screen, saving it in Photos. If the Apple voice assistant is not active on your iPhone, I invite you to refer to my guide on how to enable Siri.
Back Tap (available only on iPhone 8 and later models with iOS 14 or later). This is a system that allows you to associate a specific action with a double (or triple) tap on the back of the iPhone (the one where you find the apple, so to speak). Among the various actions that you can associate with this gesture, we also find the one to take a screenshot.
To use this solution, open Settings (the gear-shaped icon), go to Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap and choose Double Tap or Triple Tap, depending on what you prefer. Then scroll down the next page until you find the Screenshot action, then select it and that's it! When you need to take a screenshot without buttons, do 2 or 3 taps on the back of your iPhone (depending on what you chose a moment ago) and, automatically, a screen snapshot will be captured.
