How to Capture and Annotate Screenshots on iPad Using Apple Pencil – Guide
When you need to help someone use an app on an iPhone or iPad, sometimes it’s better to show them where or how an action is performed than to explain it verbally. The ability to quickly annotate screenshots can be useful for a variety of reasons, from annotating an image to helping family members use a new iPad to complete tasks, to illustrating ideas for changes or new elements of an app. Drawing things on the canvas can also be used for frivolous purposes, like B. Doodling on a photograph of someone’s face. Markup is also extremely useful as it means notes can be taken on the iOS device itself without going into an image editing app or sending the image to a Mac to add the notes.
Annotation tools are becoming more and more popular, with the near-instant availability of markup making it one of the quickest ways to add annotations. With the new shortcut introduced in iPadOS 13, taking screenshots and annotating them with Apple Pencil is even easier. ..
