iPhone tip to screenshot an entire web page in one go is blowing people's minds

Sometimes a screenshot on your iPhone just doesn't quite do the job.

There's only so much you can fit on the screen, so users often find themselves taking a screenshot, scrolling down, and taking another in a bid to capture everything they wanted.

But it turns out we've been doing it all wrong, as a TikTok user shared a tip that allows you to capture an entire web page in one go - and it's ridiculously simple.

@Oldersistah uploaded a video to show how it's done, racking up more than 3.8 million views, as she captioned it: "I was today years old when I found out you could screenshot an entire page, LOOK!!"

Thousands of viewers couldn't believe they had missed it (TikTok)

After screenshotting the top of an article containing a recipe that won't fit on the screen in one go, she then opens the screenshot from the preview that pops up.

At the top, there are two tabs labelled 'screen' and 'full page' (which we somehow never noticed), with the second allowing you to scroll through the entire page and save it as a PDF.

Thankfully, it turns out we weren't the only ones to miss this now glaringly obvious feature, as the clip was inundated with thousands of comments from viewers left equally stunned.

See the little tab at the top labelled 'Full page'? Just click that (TikTok)

One said: "I USED TO TAKE LIKE 20 SCREENSHOTS."

A second wrote: "I just wanted to let you know you're the best person on earth."

A third replied: "MY LIFE HAS CHANGED."

And another added: "OMG IT'S TRUEEE. Why! Was I not told this before."

One commented to warn: "Disclaimer: This only works on Safari, not on other web-browsing apps like Google, Chrome, Firefox, etc."

Others were more surprised so many people had missed the feature, adding: "Ya'll just realised this? Maybe I am smart after all."

Did you know about this feature? Let us know in the comments.
