The new approach provides immediate access to a handful of useful tools for editing a screenshot, but they now dominate your iPhone\u2019s screen when captured, instead of shrinking into an unobtrusive thumbnail. Thankfully, reverting to the old way iOS handled screenshots is easy, as <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/09\/18\/ios-26-iphone-screenshot-changed-setting-full-screen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spotted by 9To5Mac<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Open your iPhone\u2019s Settings app and then navigate to General &gt; Screen Capture. There you\u2019ll find a Full-Screen Previews toggle at the top of the page you can turn off. iOS says this option will \u201cdisplay screenshots in full view instead of showing a temporary thumbnail in the lower-left corner,\u201d so disabling it will make screenshots much less obtrusive after they\u2019ve been captured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Turning the feature off doesn\u2019t do away with the full-screen previews entirely. After you\u2019ve snapped a screenshot you can still tap its temporary thumbnail to bring up the screenshot interface again where you can crop or annotate it, search for similar images using Google, have ChatGPT provide more details about its contents, or get a summary of any text using Apple Intelligence. When snapping a webpage, the screenshot interface also includes tools for grabbing just what\u2019s visible on screen, or the entire page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the many unpublicized changes introduced with the iOS 26 update released earlier this week is that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":236663,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[239,2019,50,242,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-236662","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-apple","9":"tag-ios","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-tech","12":"tag-technology","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-unitedstates","15":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115226035081498023","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=236662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/236662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/236663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=236662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=236662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=236662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
