In iOS 11 Screenshots Can Be Instantly Previewed And Edited Before Saving

Among the myriad of changes and new features embedded in iOS 11 we’ve also found the enhanced Screenshot function. The 11th iPhone and iPad Operating System generation allows users to instantly preview, edit and share a print-screen that has just been captured. The frame shrinks-in toward the bottom-left corner of the screen and hovers in miniature version, providing a shortcut for the markup option for a few seconds. If you tap the small icon the new Screenshot Preview screen opens up and you can crop, draw and perform other edits to the image.

Obviously, you can also choose to ignore the shortcut and it will disappear after a few seconds. The print-screen won’t be lost, it will be stored and available within the Photos app. iOS 11 greatly enhances your options of sharing the content of your iPhone’s screen. We’ve already covered the new Screen Recording feature. Scroll on and see how to toy with a screenshot!
