When all you want to do is take a quick screenshot, seeing this big splash screen and all it new AI buttons can get annoying fast. Plus, you might not want Apple Intelligence to see what’s on your screen (which it will now automatically do), no matter how useful these updates might turn out to be.
Thankfully, you can disable the new splash screen, and go back to the old thumbnail preview method instead. Plus, when needed, you'll still be able to trigger Visual Intelligence, even when using thumbnails.

If your screenshot is of a website, you’ll see a link to go there directly. Plus, there’s a feature that lets you highlight any image to find similar images on Google, as if you were using Circle to Search or Google Lens.
How to disable the full-screen Visual Intelligence splash screen
Thankfully, Apple has an option to disable the new splash screen. To go back to the old method, go to Settings > General > Screen Capture and disable the Full-Screen Previews option.
