As we share every moment of our lives on social networks, someone sharing your FaceTime calls as a status update is not surprising. Nevertheless, you might desire to be notified immediately when this occurs. Hence, let’s find out if FaceTime can tell you when someone takes a screenshot of the call screen.
Does FaceTime Tell You When Someone Screenshots?
No, FaceTime does not have a built-in feature to notify a user when someone takes a screenshot during a call. On an iOS or macOS device, you can screenshot any screen, including an FT call, but the other party won’t be informed or alerted in any way. It means that if you take a screenshot during a FaceTime call, the other person will not be notified.
Can You Take a Picture While on FaceTime?
No, you cannot take a picture while on FaceTime. The camera is accessed through the FaceTime app on your iPhone or Mac during the call. However, you can easily capture images from your screen by taking a screenshot of the FaceTime screen.

How Do You Take a Screenshot While on FaceTime?
Capturing a special moment or important information during a FaceTime call can be done by taking a screenshot. As you’ve learned, FaceTime does not tell anyone when you screenshot.
If you’re unsure about how to take a screenshot during a FaceTime call, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you out.
1. Start your FaceTime call and navigate to the screen that you want to capture.
2. Depending on the device you’re using, you can take a screenshot by pressing the buttons on your device in the following ways:
- iPhone X and newer models: Press the Volume Up button and the Side button together.
- iPhone 8 and older models: Press the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
- iPad: Press the Home button and the Top button simultaneously.
Once you press the buttons, you will see a quick flash on your screen. It indicates that the screenshot has been taken and FaceTime will not tell anyone about this action.
Where Does a FaceTime Screenshot Go?
When you take a screenshot during a FaceTime call, it automatically gets saved to your Camera roll, without telling anyone. However, the location of the screenshot may differ depending on your device’s settings.
By default, screenshots taken on your iPhone are saved to the Screenshots album in your Photos app. You can access this album by opening the Photos app and going to the Albums tab > Screenshots album.
Note: If you have iCloud Photos enabled, your screenshots will also be saved to your iCloud account and will sync across all your devices. To access your screenshots on another device, you can simply open the Photos app and navigate to the Screenshots album.
