Taking screenshots in iOS just got a refresh. With iOS 26, Apple has introduced a new screenshot interface that’s not just cosmetic—it’s also smarter and more streamlined.

The updated screenshot UI in iOS 26 brings a tighter layout and moves the editing tools (pens, markers, etc.) to the bottom, which feels more natural—especially on larger iPhones. The image, captured in the Safari tab switcher, shows a MacRumors article with visible toolbar tweaks. Redditor u/Sea_Attempt_6174 noted that the editing tools now stay persistent, making it easier to apply quick changes. Some users even feel it’s closer to iPadOS’s layout, which they love.
Whether you’re a frequent scribbler or just crop and go, the new UI in iOS 26 adds polish and practicality to screenshots.
