iOS 26: 3 Exciting New Screenshot Features I Can't Wait to Try
Hi there! I’m Riven, your go-to source for the latest updates on tech products and software features. Today, I’m super excited to talk about the three new screenshot features coming to iPhones with the release of iOS 26. As someone who takes tons of screenshots, these updates are something I can’t wait to try out.
One of the standout features in iOS 26 is the new Image Search function. While you could already search for screenshots using
Google in previous versions of iOS, iOS 26 takes it a step further by allowing you to search across multiple platforms, including Etsy, Pinterest, and more.
This update is a game-changer for those who love finding inspiration from images. For example, I often use Pinterest to find furniture and clothing based on screenshots, but now, having this feature built right into the iPhone is a huge improvement. Note: The Image Search feature will be available exclusively for iPhone 15 Pro and newer models.
The Add to Calendar feature is another fantastic update for those of us who rely heavily on our calendar apps. With iOS 26, you’ll no longer have to manually add event details to your calendar. For example, if you take a screenshot of a concert or event flyer, Visual Intelligence will automatically extract key details such as the date, time, and location
, and add them directly to your Calendar app.
This will save so much time and effort, especially for someone like me, who frequently attends live events. However, just like the Image Search feature, the Add to Calendar option will only be available for iPhone 15 Pro and newer models.
We all know how frustrating low-quality screenshots can be, especially when it comes to capturing detailed images or videos. With iOS 26, Apple introduces HDR screenshots
, which will allow users to take screenshots with full dynamic range. This feature also applies to screen recordings, ensuring that photos and videos look sharp and vivid.
Using the HEIF image format, HDR screenshots will make images pop, and you’ll even have the option to switch to SDR if needed. This is going to be a huge upgrade for anyone who cares about the quality of their screenshots.
With iOS 26, Apple is introducing some truly exciting features for iPhone users who love taking screenshots. From Image Search to Add to Calendar and HDR screenshots, these updates promise to make our iPhones even more powerful and efficient. While these features are exclusive to iPhone 15 Pro models for now, I’m sure many users, including myself, can’t wait to get our hands on them this September.
