How to use Safari’s built-in Full Page option
Take a screenshot while a web page is open in Safari, tap the preview, choose Full Page, and save it as a PDF to Files. It is quick for a web page you only need as a PDF. It does not remove ads or pop-ups and it cannot save a PNG or JPG.
How to take a scrolling screenshot of a chat or any app
iOS has no scrolling screenshot for apps. Record your screen while you scroll, then open the video in FullPage, or take screenshots that overlap by about a quarter of the screen and stitch them. FullPage turns either into one long image.
Is it the same on iPad?
Yes. Every method above works the same way on iPad, and FullPage runs on both iPhone and iPad with iOS 18.0 or later.
