   You’ll see a thumbnail of the screenshot appear in the lower-left corner of the screen. The screen may also flash, and you might hear a camera shutter sound.

4. Access the Screenshot:

   – Tap the thumbnail to open the screenshot immediately.

   – Swipe left on the thumbnail to dismiss it, and the screenshot will be saved to the Photos app.

Cropping a Screenshot

1. Open the Screenshot:

   – If you tapped the thumbnail immediately after taking the screenshot, you’re already in the editing mode.

   – If you dismissed the thumbnail, open the Photos app, go to the “Screenshots” album, and tap the screenshot you want to crop.

2. Enter Edit Mode:

   Tap the **Edit** button at the top right corner of the screen.

3. Crop the Image:

   – Locate the Crop Tool: In the editing options at the bottom of the screen, tap the Crop icon. It looks like a square with two overlapping corners.

   – Adjust the Crop Area: You’ll see a grid over your screenshot with adjustable corners and edges. Drag the edges or corners of the grid to select the portion of the screenshot you want to keep. You can also move the entire grid to reposition the crop area.

   – Confirm the Crop: Once you’re satisfied with the selection, tap the Done button at the bottom of the screen.

4. Save the Cropped Screenshot:

   Tap Done again to save your cropped screenshot.
