For scrolling screenshots, you need a third-party app like Capto. Here is how:

Select “Snap active browser URL.”

Capto will take a full-page screenshot and save it automatically to your Mac’s Library.

Open Safari and go to the webpage you want to screenshot.
Take a screenshot (press Volume up + side button for Face ID iPhones, or Home button + power button for Touch ID iPhones).
Tap the preview that appears.
Select the “Full Page” tab at the top.
Tap “Done” to save it on your device.
