For iPad Pro (2023)

The 2018 model iPad Pro does not have a Home button, therefore uses a different set of buttons for taking a screenshot on iPad Pro.

Step 1Set up the view exactly the way you want it for the shot. Verify the image, webpage, or other visual media you're hoping to capture is fully displayed.

Step 2Press the Sleep/Wake (on/off)  button on the top of the iPad Pro and the Volume up button on the right side of the iPad Pro at the same time.

The screen will flash white and you will hear the sound of the camera shutter clicking if your sound is enabled.

There is also a way to take a screenshot on iPad Mini/Air/Pro which has a size of more than 7.9 inches with just one hand, but this requires an auxiliary enabling Assistive Touch.

Step 1Enable Assistive Touch

Launching the Settings app and navigating to General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch and toggle Assistive Touch ON. A semi-transparent button will be added to your screen. This is the Assistive Touch button.

Step 2Customize Top Level Menu

Tap on the Customize Top Level Menu. Then tap the Custom icon (the one with the star), and select Screenshot from the list. The Screenshot button will be added to the Assistive Touch Menu. You can also tap on any of the default icons to replace it with Screenshot button, or any other option from the list.

With the Screenshot option added to your Assistive Touch menu, we can take a one-handed screenshot anytime by tapping on the Assistive Touch button followed by Screenshot button.

And just like before, the screen will flash white, you'll hear the camera shutter sound (if your iPad isn't on mute), and your screenshot will be saved in Photos.
