I'm looking for easy ways to take screenshots on my iPad without using the physical buttons like the home or power buttons. I've been copying text from a Chinese textbook for class and need a more streamlined method. I've tried using the slide-to-screenshot feature on the corners, but it feels awkward and doesn't always work for me. Are there any apps or shortcuts that would make this process easier?

You can also create a shortcut for screenshots if you dive into the Shortcuts app. It's really simple to set up once you get the hang of it!
If you enable Assistive Touch, you can set a custom action there to take screenshots, which makes it really easy to access.
Don't forget, you can also just ask Siri to take a screenshot for you. Just say, 'Hey Siri, take a screenshot', and it’ll do it!
You can set up your iPad to take screenshots by double-tapping the back of it! Just go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap, and choose screenshot. It’s super handy and saves you from fumbling with buttons!
I didn’t see the back tap option at first, but found the touch settings. It's awesome!
Wait, you can do that? I’ve had the Shortcuts app but never used it for screenshots!
