"One of the many unpublicized changes introduced with the iOS 26 update released earlier this week is that screenshots now automatically open into a full-screen preview. The new approach provides immediate access to a handful of useful tools for editing a screenshot, but they now dominate your iPhone's screen when captured, instead of shrinking into an unobtrusive thumbnail. Thankfully, reverting to the old way iOS handled screenshots is easy, as spotted by 9To5Mac."
"Open your iPhone's Settings app and then navigate to General > Screen Capture. There you'll find a Full-Screen Previews toggle at the top of the page you can turn off. iOS says this option will "display screenshots in full view instead of showing a temporary thumbnail in the lower-left corner," so disabling it will make screenshots much less obtrusive after they've been captured."
iOS 26 introduced automatic full-screen screenshot previews that open immediately after capture and present editing tools. The previews replace the previous temporary thumbnail that appeared in the lower-left corner and can feel obtrusive. Users can restore the thumbnail behavior by opening Settings, navigating to General > Screen Capture, and turning off the Full-Screen Previews toggle. Disabling full-screen previews keeps screenshots less intrusive while still allowing users to tap the temporary thumbnail to crop, annotate, search for similar images with Google, ask ChatGPT for details, or get text summaries via Apple Intelligence. Webpage screenshots still offer visible-area or full-page capture tools.
