disable screenshot previews, edit photo categories

Is there a way to disable the new screenshot previews in iOS 11 that appear in the lower-left corner? I don’t use them and they often get in the way by appearing over something I intend to tap immediately after taking the screenshot. Attempting to swipe them off the screen is apparently tricker than it seems as sometimes they don’t budge.


While I’m here, is there a way to edit the categories that photos automatically appear in, and add new categories?

iPhone 7, iOS 11

This needs to be resolved apple! Seriously! I qccidently upgrade to a new update that I had no idea changed some features and throws this annoying *** thing in my screen when I just quickly want to save something for future resource.



Get rid of this!

Lol! And in this case our natural intelligence is obviously far superior.


The automated photos categories feature is clearly insufficient, as many, many others have stated. Already sent feedback a while ago about this and the screenshot thumbnail hindrance (a feature which I'm sure most people don't use). But like many of Apple's "features", looks like we'll need to deal with it for the time being.


In the meantime I guess to sort photos I can use custom albums as well as third-party photo tagging apps if I need them. If anyone knows of a way to disable the screenshot thumbnails, please let me know.
