My phone is set to take a screenshot when I double tap the back of the phone. I love that feature! But it also frequently takes a photo when I go to set it down somewhere. Is there a way to keep the double tap feature, but stop it from taking a photo when I said it down?
iPhone 13, iOS 16
Hello LynetteG69!
I have also had this issue, except I was using double-tap for opening an app. Unfortunately, your iPhone doesn’t know if you’re setting your iPhone down, or tapping on the back of it.
You can try to be more careful when setting your iPhone down, making sure that you don’t drop one end of it, then release the other end, which accidentally mimics double-tap.
Also, you can try setting up triple-tap to take a screenshot. I don’t know how one could possibly set down one’s iPhone in three steps! 😊
I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

I also use that method...occasional unintended screenshots still happen, but are easily deleted.
Thanks for sharing!
The occurrence of these unintended screenshots using triple-tap should be greatly reduced…
