Method 1: The Classic Hardware Button Combo

This is the most well-known and fastest method, using your iPhone’s physical buttons.

1. Locate the Buttons: Find the Volume Up button (on the right side) and the Side button (on the left side) of your iPhone.
2. Press Simultaneously: Quickly press both buttons together and then release them.
3. Review the Capture: A small preview of the screenshot will appear in the bottom-left corner. You can tap it to crop, edit, or just wait a moment for it to save automatically to your Photos app.

Method 2: The Magic of Back Tap (One-Time Setup Required)

The Back Tap feature is a hidden gem in the Accessibility settings that lets you assign a shortcut (like taking a screenshot) to a simple double-tap on the back of your phone.

One-Time Setup:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap Accessibility.
3. Go inside Touch.
4. Scroll down to the bottom and tap Back Tap.
5. Select Double Tap (or Triple Tap, if you prefer).
6. From the list of actions, scroll down and select “Screenshot.”

Future Use:

Once set up, simply double-tap the very back of your iPhone 17 (even with a case on!) to instantly capture the screen. No need to fumble for buttons!

Method 3: The Easiest Way – Just Ask Siri!

For a completely hands-free method, you can simply ask your digital assistant to do the work.

1. Launch Siri: Activate Siri using the “Hey Siri” command or by pressing and holding the Side button.
2. Give the Command: Say, “Screenshot.“

Siri will instantly capture the image and save it to your Photos app. This is the easiest method if your hands are full or you prefer voice commands.

Whether you prefer the traditional button combo, the super-convenient “Back Tap” feature, or simply asking Siri, your iPhone 17/17 Pro gives you plenty of options for capturing those important moments on your screen.

Once your audio file is saved on your device, follow these steps:

1. Open the Files app and navigate to the folder where you saved your custom ringtone audio.
2. Tap and hold on the audio file’s name.
3. From the pop-up menu, select Share.
4. In the share sheet that appears, look for and tap the option that says Use as Ringtone. Your selected file is now your new default ringtone!

Removing a Custom Ringtone

If you decide you don’t want to use a custom ringtone anymore, deleting it is simple:

1. Go back to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone.
2. Find your custom ringtone in the list.
3. Swipe left on the ringtone’s name.
4. Tap the Delete button that appears.
