Hello gmamma3,


Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We'd like to offer our support with your iPhone.


After you take a screenshot on your iPhone, you have the option to save it to the Photos app, save it to the Files app, or delete the screenshot. According to the user guide below, "If you choose Save to Photos, you can view it in the Screenshots album in the Photos app, or in the All Photos album if iCloud Photos is turned on in Settings > Photos."

Take a screenshot or screen recording on iPhone


You can also create a new photo album in the Photos app to organize photos to your liking. Here's how:

Organize and find your photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


On the other hand, if you're looking to save screenshots to the Files app, you'll have to manually select which Files folder you want to save your screenshot. You can even create a new folder after taking the screenshot. To do so after tapping on the Share icon from your screenshot, tap on Save to Files > Folder icon (located in the top-right corner next to Save) > [rename folder] > Done.


We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
