Hi ChrissyBeth1969!

I understand that you're not seeing a thumbnail when you take a screenshot, and I'm happy to help. Please start by restarting your iPhone and trying again.

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If it's still not working correctly, please back up the iPhone before proceeding.

How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Once you've backed up, please follow these instructions to reinstall iOS 11.

I was having a similar problem with screenshots - they would appear OK, but then I'd just get a blank picture when I tried to save it or send it via text. I have iClould photo library turned on... but it seems to work after switching from "Optimize iPhone Storage" to download and keep originals. May use more phone storage, but when I tested it seemed to work fine.

It has become obvious to me, having read all the comments/replies, that this is a bug that Apple must fix. Many of us have the same problem: the feature works, but the option disappears, unless one restarts the device [or buys a new device! or upgrades the OS and restarts].

Most people don't have this problem. That tends to indicate that it is not a bug in the system software but rather something to do with the configuration of the individual phones. And that can be very hard to troubleshoot.
