I haven't had this experience. But you haven't told what devie you're using-- is this a Mac? or iPhone? or iPad? You also haven't told us what OS you're using, and screenshots certainly work a bit differently in different OSs.


Has this always worked this way or is the behavior new? Have you changed anything recently?


Do you use iCloud Photos? Do you use "Optimize Storage?"


Let us know the details, and we might be able to help…
