ChatGPT desktop/web UI: “Take Screenshot” option missing from + menu

ChatGPT desktop/web UI: “Take Screenshot” option missing from + menu

I’m a ChatGPT Plus Version 5.5 (June 28,2026) user, after a resent update the “Take Screenshot” option appears to have disappeared from the + menu in both the ChatGPT web interface and desktop app.

Previously, the + menu included a screenshot workflow. Now the menu only shows options such as:

  • Add photos & files
  • Create image
  • Web search
  • Deep research
  • Connected tools/apps

The missing screenshot option creates a workflow problem because users now have to rely on OS-level shortcuts like Windows + Shift + S, then manually paste the screenshot into ChatGPT.

Expected behavior

The Take Screenshot option should still appear in the ChatGPT + menu, or OpenAI should provide a clear replacement workflow.

Actual behavior

The Take Screenshot option is no longer visible in the + menu.

Environment

  • Plan: ChatGPT Plus
  • Platform: Windows desktop app and web browser
  • Browser: Firefox
  • Issue: Screenshot option missing from the + menu

Request

Can other users confirm whether this feature was removed intentionally, hidden by rollout, or broken in the current UI?
