The thumbnail image to which you perhaps refer is a feature of iOS for iPhone - and is not present in iPadOS.


For iPad, a screenshot remains on-screen until the screenshot is dismissed - by tapping the Done button and either saving or deleting the screenshot.


However, for iPad, you can see a similar thumbnail if you swipe-upwards from the bottom edge of the screen while the screenshot is visible.
