Your iPad is more than just an e-sketchpad or a streaming haven. Armed with the right know-how, it turns into a pro-level device for capturing screenshots.

So, let's dig deeper and explore some advanced methods you'll definitely want on your radar.

After you snap your screenshot, your iPad automatically whisks it to the Photos app.

• Navigate to the "Screenshots" album to find your new gem.

• Here, tap the screenshot and hit 'Edit' in the upper corner of your screen.

Congratulations, you're now in the editing screen where you can add text, draw doodles, or highlight the essentials.

Ever heard of Back Tap? It's a nifty tool found in the Settings app. This feature allows you to double-tap the back of your iPad to perform specific custom actions, like taking a screenshot.

• Head over to Settings, then Accessibility. Under "Touch," scroll down until you find "Back Tap," and select 'Screenshot' from the list of actions.

So now, a simple double tap on the back of your iPad will capture whatever's on the screen.

Some moments deserve more than just a snapshot. Say you're browsing a lengthy article or scrolling through a recipe with multiple steps. You can capture all of it, from top to bottom, with a full-page screenshot.

• After capturing your initial screenshot, tap on the thumbnail appearing in the lower-left corner of your screen. Once it opens, tap on the option that says "Full Page," and choose 'Save PDF to Files'.

This feature turns your screenshot into a PDF file that you can access later in the Files app.

You're nailing the basics and the extras. But what about sharing these screenshots? Well, you're in for some tips that will make even the savviest techie green with envy.

Once you've snagged that screenshot, a thumbnail appears in the bottom left corner of your iPad screen. Tap it, and voila, the sharing menu pops up.

From there, you can text it to your circle of frequent contacts or launch it directly into the social media stratosphere.

Have you ever lost a crucial screenshot amidst the chaos of your Photo Library?

Beyond the screenshot folder, you can also create an album specifically for your new images in the Photos app.

Or, if you want to get more technical, you can also rename the image.

• Just select the image you are ready to rename.
• Once it's full screen, swipe up.
• You can then rename the image under the 'Add a Caption' section.

So, you've all the techniques for taking screenshots on your iPad. But are your screenshots still playing hide and seek?

Let's go on and see what could be causing the issue.

Sometimes, the physical buttons on your iPad can get a bit temperamental.

Maybe the volume buttons are stuck, or the power button isn't responding.

In this case, a quick clean with a lint-free cloth might help.

So give that button a little TLC and see if the screenshot feature awakens from its slumber.

Ever heard of the saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Well, in the tech world, it's usually, "If it's broke, try updating it."

iOS updates not only bring new features but also fix existing bugs.

So take a quick trip to the Settings app, look for software updates, and if one's available.

If your device is chock-full of apps, photos, and whatnot, there may be no room left for new screenshots.

If so, time to give your iPad a quick spring clean.
