Save Screenshots to files on iOS or Apple Photos on macOS I'm trying to get everything on the same page with my Apple products. Is it possible in iOS to save screenshots to files (as a default not manually thro a 2 step process) OR possible in macOS to save screenshots to Apple Photos? In this way ALL my screenshots would be in Photos or in Files.

If your screen shot opens in Preview then select File, export and pick JPEG as the format (at bottom of menu)
