Why doesn’t my screenshot work? I press the vol up button then top button and either nothing happens or screen goes black. Same issue on my iPhone X. It worked a few times but never again
iPad Pro, 13

You must press them together.

Screenshot timing of buttons is critical.
Assuming that your iPad has a Home button - to trigger a screenshot, you simultaneously press both the “top” (Sleep/Wake) button and the Home Button. If the timing isn’t right (simultaneous button push, in practice, is difficult) something other than a screenshot is achieved.
So, to break this down to reliable sequence that consistently works...
1) Press-and-hold the Top Button
2) Press-and-release the Home Button
3) Release the Top Button
Now, press the buttons in the stated sequence - quickly; the screenshot is triggered at (2). After a little practice, the sequence becomes second-nature - and you will trigger a reliable screenshot every time.
I hope this insight and clarification proves to be helpful.
Thanks but I have an iPad Pro 2020 without a home button. that's why i presents vol up and top button but nothing happens anymore. it did work at the start
nope. doesn't work any more. it did once....also swiping from the corner to the centre with Apple pencil creates a screenshot but I can't do anything with it and it vanishes
Do the physical buttons otherwise work normally - i.e., can adjust volume up and down - and for the top button, lock and wake the iPad?
