iOS 26 Lets iPhone Users Turn Screenshots Into Calendar Events

Apple Intelligence parses event details in the new fullscreen screenshot view for quick creation.

Overview

  • An “Add to Calendar” prompt appears when a screenshot includes event information, available within the default fullscreen screenshot interface.
  • Users see a parsed preview and can choose Create Event or tap Edit to adjust details before saving.
  • The Edit option opens Calendar’s standard event editor, allowing changes such as which calendar the item is saved to.
  • The capability runs on Apple Intelligence–compatible iPhones, and Forbes reports screenshots can be discarded after the event is added.
  • Those using external services can add calendar accounts in Settings, though 9to5Mac cautions this may introduce syncing issues.
