One of my favorite new features is the new screenshot tool, which lets you edit your screenshots before saving or sharing them. You can also set screenshots to automatically delete after sharing so they don't clog up your camera roll. I've been testing iOS 11 for the last few days, and this has quickly become one of the features I use the most.
