WikiHow today will show you how to save content on iPhone screen. You can use the Home key and the screen lock button (the power button) to take screenshots on most iPhone phones, however, if you have trouble or the physical keys on the phone are damaged then you can use Virtual Home key (AssistiveTouch).

Steps
