Make Your Point Clear at a Glance
Sending a plain, unedited screenshot often means describing in words what the recipient should be looking at. Circling or underlining the exact spot instead gets the point across instantly, without a separate editing app or any back-and-forth.
Save an Unedited Copy First If You Might Need the Original
On many devices, saving a marked-up screenshot overwrites the original file rather than keeping both versions. If there's any chance you'll want the clean, unedited screenshot later, duplicate it before you start drawing on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the original screenshot kept separately after I edit it?
It depends on the device β many devices save over the original with the edited version, so it's worth making a copy first if you need to keep the unedited screenshot.
Can I still mark up a screenshot if I miss the edit popup?
Yes, opening the saved screenshot again from your gallery or Photos app and tapping the edit icon lets you mark it up at any time afterward.
