Copy & paste no longer functional from screenshots or photos

Used to be able to highlight, copy and paste from screenshots. Where are the settings that determine this?


iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18

I'm not sure what you mean about "highlight." You can crop the screenshot using Edit>Crop. You can copy that with Share>Copy Photo. This is pretty much like it's always been.


original


cropped


Copy


Or just pick up as a sticker:

She is! Her name is Flurry-- for obvious reasons.


Object Lookup

can be turned off at "Settings>Search" and turning off "Show related content"


I can't find any way to turn off the "sticker" outline or the little Face IDs, in Info mode. I think they figure if you're in the Info window, you get it all.

Hi - thanks - to clarify I meant text. And I uncovered that the setting for live text had somehow been turned off. I may've been trying to eliminate the distracting outlining of objects and figures (y'know, to make stickers).


Could've sworn outlining wasn't just tucked into "i" tab before and was less subtle.


Lovely calico!
