iPhone takes screen shot when laid down

My iPhone 12 with Apple MagSafe case occasionally takes a screen shot when I lay it down. No, my fingers are not on any buttons. Anyone else experienced this?

I figured it out. It is Back Tap! My back tap was set to take a screen shot. Problem solved.

Your fingers touched two buttons. It can't happen accidentally.
