Apple’s latest Copy and Delete feature for screenshots is one such feature which adds convenience to users to capture screenshots without saving them in the Photos app. This would save up space on the smartphone and lessen the amount of useless screenshot junk in the Photos app.

Notably, the device does not save the screenshot taken by the Copy and Delete feature anywhere. As the screenshot is basically saved in the Clipboard, users won’t be able to find it in the Photos app or the Files app.

In this situation, putting the screenshots into an app like Notes, Documents, etc. is the only method to access them. Users can also easily paste the screenshots into other apps like WhatsApp and Instagram.
