iOS 26 adds a new full-screen preview feature for screenshots you take on your iPhone, but if you don’t need them, here’s how to turn it off.
iOS 26 has finally arrived, bringing with it Apple’s new Liquid Glass design language. On top of completely changing how iOS looks, the new operating system has also changed up some key parts of how the iPhone works. One way iOS 26 is has evolved is with the introduction of a new full-screen preview for screenshots taken on your device. The new setup is meant to give you easy access to the device’s various Apple Intelligence-based image features, including Visual Look Up and visual intelligence.
While those features can be handy, especially if you’re looking for information about whatever you’re screenshotting, the fact of the matter is that many of us are not looking for them every single time we take a screenshot.
