9 Useful Features for Anyone Who Takes Screenshots on Their iPhone

The next time you take a screenshot with sensitive information, such as phone numbers, addresses, or ever movie spoilers, you don’t have to scribble over them with the pen, pencil, or highlighter tools. It’s difficult to blur things well with these methods, and those with a keen eye can probably read the blurred part anyway.

Instead, switch to the rectangle tool and draw an opaque shape over sensitive information. To do this, take a screenshot on your iPhone, and tap the pen icon (to the left of the trash icon) at the top of the screen. Tap the + button at the bottom-right corner of the screen and select the square icon. This will add a transparent rectangle to your screenshot. To make it opaque, tap the square with a circle icon in the bottom pane (the first icon from the left). This will open up a tiny pop-up with four options, and you can select the first one from the left—opaque square icon.

You can now move the shape around the screen and hide everything you need to hide. It looks neater, and hides everything more effectively.
