On both iPhone and Android smartphones, screenshots taken are usually saved in the main unit. If you don't want to put pressure on your smartphone's capacity, it's a good idea to save the image to an external location such as an SD card or the cloud after shooting.
Screenshot data taken with an Android smartphone is usually saved in a dedicated folder in the smartphone's internal storage. With the default function, the save destination cannot be changed except for some models. Many third-party screenshot apps have a function to change the save destination to a favorite folder such as an SD card.
The iPhone cannot use the SD card without using a card reader, so upload it to the cloud.
