How and Where do the iPhoneX screenshots get stored?

iMore Question

Hi, we are all missing work and not sleeping because we're trying to figure out where iphoneX screenshots get stored if you don't send / share them. Or physically push the "save photos" button after sharing.

Do they get saved by default?

WHY DIDN'T APPLE GIVE US A SETTINGS / CHOICE on it?

We do want / prefer that it gets saved by default.

If you simply wait until the little screen in the lower left disappears, or swipe it away to the left, it gets stored in the Camera Album.
You can also find all screenshots taken with your iPhones and iPads in the Screenshots folder in the Photos tab.

If you do tap on the little screen in the lower left you have to actively save screenshot to Photos or delete it. There is no other choice than those two options.

Also, if you share a screenshot through that screen it gets saved to Photos.
