Extra step to delete screenshots

Since iOS 26 iPhone no longer has the option to delete a screenshot right away after sending it. I must go into photos to do this. This is an annoying extra step. Has anyone else experienced this annoyance?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 26

Press Copy & Delete (in red), swipe to Messenger and paste screenshot into Messenger text window. Screenshot is deleted and also pasted into Messenger text Messenger. Press send. Easy peasy.
