Parental Controls: Disable Screenshot Utility

To the best of my knowledge, it isn’t possible to disable the Screenshot feature.

Apple does invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see the ability to restrict access to Screenshot controls in a future release of iOS/iPadOS, this would be the best channel through which to make a request:

Hello borgfriend,

I suspect they generate screenshots while playing with a left border swipe. Go to Settings > General > Gestures and disable “Left corner swipe” (which is set to “Screenshot” by default.)

However, access to the corner swipe gesture configuration cannot be inhibited.

Yes, it can, You only have to select Off in the settings :

It then becomes a "regular" swipe up like one you can do anywhere from the bottom of the screen.

You miss my point entirely.

While you can turn-off the corner swipe gesture, it cannot be inhibited with settings. While it can be turned off, nothing prevents the setting from being re-enabled. The OP wishes to completely inhibit screenshots - such that they are completely inaccessible.

I misunderstood what you meant and you are entirely correct: Nothing prevents the setting from being re-enabled.
