The only problem is if you have AssistiveTouch to take a screenshot, it doesn’t show in full screen, neither does it show full screen if you have Siri take it. I have full screen on, but I use the AssistiveTouch and I can’t get the full screen. Am I doing something wrong?

📸 iOS 26 Screenshots Just Leveled Up — Here’s How To Use Them Like a Pro
Hey friends! 👋 I’m Dylan Stewart, The MacWhisperer — and if you’re anything like me, you probably take a lot of screenshots. Maybe it’s a recipe you want to try later, a funny meme you can’t lose, or a quick way to save that impossible-to-find password. But here’s the problem: those screenshots pile up fast, clutter your Photos app, and half the time you can’t even find the one you need.
Very well explained. My screenshot doesn’t always give me the full screen option. Why?
That’s exactly why this video is so important. With iOS 26, Apple completely reimagined how screenshots work. There’s a brand new full-screen editor ✍️ that lets you crop, annotate, and share without ever saving to your photo roll. You can now take full-page screenshots 🗞️ of entire articles or Notes, and even use the Copy & Delete feature to clean up your Photos automatically.
And we’re just getting started. 🤖 Thanks to Apple Intelligence, your screenshots can now be summarized, read aloud, or even searched using ChatGPT and Safari. I’ll walk you through all the new settings, show you how to use markup tools for quick highlights or signatures, and share my favorite power tip that’ll make you rethink what screenshots can do. Let’s dive in and turn your everyday captures into something smarter, faster, and way more useful.
Great Channel.... I really liked it.

Nice, but I am old and slow and just want a screenshot to be saved automatically to my photos without doing the extra step of clicking on the checkmark save icon on the top right. Is there a way to set that up?

before iOS 26 update when I took a screenshot, I could use the markup tool and the paintbrush to match a color from within the image and then color over portions of a screenshot if I wanted to. I don’t seem to be able to do that now. Is there a way to still have this feature?

Writing with my ipencil is never fully readable. Any way to correct the way it looks?
@patriciaenglish1027Thank you for the video & speaking slow enough to follow!
@patriciaenglish1027I get full screen preview no matter what I have that setting set to. I no longer get thumbnails and it’s driving me nuts.
@julieyakunich6767Very Informative. Thank you for taking the time to create this video.
@wing3389Absolutely a must watch about screenshots and more. Excellent!!
@melaniemolzof5481Very useful Prof.
@mvraman9394Thank you you saved me medically!!!!
@gloriahayleykNo it does not slide away!!! What’s wrong with my settings. I have to push multiple buttons to do anything
Ohhh you explained ❤❤❤
iOS 26 is horrible for neurological conditions
@gloriahayleykToo much work 😆 but I still clicked like and I subscribe for all the work that you did for this video.
@Tom21356This is harder not smarter. How do you take screenshot then it automatically goes to photos? After you take it now you get the second up so decide what to do with it. Ridiculous.
@thestooges333Why can’t I scroll to capture more of the page? Android does
@donnasliger8179Why don't my screenshots open in full screen anymore, and why do I have to double-click each time to open them? They are small. I didn't have this problem with iOS 18.
@elias_seventiesYTBI am using my favourite iPhone 11 and thank God it doesn’t have this facility ❤
@avimango46Sadly, even with "Full-Screen Previews" on, if you use Siri or use AssistiveTouch to take a screenshot, it reverts to the bottom left. :(
@patcostello3882i use Asssistive Touch to take screenshot (The small dot), Instead, I’d like to know if there’s a way to stop recording without capturing the final button-press action.
@waschosen-Thanks excellent tips about screenshots amazing capabilities thank you
@franciscosousaesilva749115:55. I like the second quote better and was able to copy it with one small typo to correct: "You're alwavs one decision away from a totally different life."
@skepticsr_usWhen taken a quick note, the does NOT get saved in “Quick Notes” but gets saved elsewhere in notes. Is there a fix for this?
@tommy_m509Great video, but I don’t understand the screenshot. I’ve tried it about five times and I’m not getting anything that’s saying full page I would have to scroll down and take a bat another 40 screenshots so I don’t understand why I’m not getting the page that you’re showing. I’m on an iPhone 16.
@LeeEvans-qe9kkThanks for the free Smart Guide pdf's.
@DeepakMehta-e4kHope apple adds iMessage screenshot ability like you showed for a webpage.
@donnae2013Does this work also on iPad and/or MacMini?
