How to take screenshots in iPhone without saving it on the device?

The latest iOS 16 update of Apple has brought a plethora of new features, including new lock screen customisation, privacy features, updated focus mode and other features enhancing the user’s experience. However, along with these mainstream features, there are also some lesser known features bundled with the update.

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.
