Screenshot to clipboard

Is there a way to have a screenshot automatically copied to the clipboard? As in: Take a screenshot, paste the result wherever. I recall that this is what used to happen.

Yes.... But that's a lot of steps... multiple screens, scrolling, etc.


What I'm asking is if there is a setting or technique so that a screen capture is immediately and automatically placed onto the clipboard.

...But, depending on your iPhone model, you'll get some kind of "shortcut running" message captured at the top of the screenshot aswell! Perhaps there's a way to avoid that.
