Does anyone know if their is a way to prevent accidental screenshots because at times I seem to accidentally press the volume down and side key together is their a way where I can set press the side key + volume down button for 3 seconds before the screenshots gets taken so accidental press doesn't immediately take a screenshot or ways to completly disable screenshots with button functionality and just use palm swipe does anyone know any solution to that.

As far as I am aware you can only disable the palm swipe from advanced features for screenshots. I don't think it's possible to disable the volume and side key to disable screenshots....but to me it would seem quite difficult to press those two buttons "accidentally" over and over again.
Sure maybe once here another time there but wouldn't happen too much.

I myself have also taken accidental screenshots but I'm talking about rarely like maybe once every few months and I just go into the gallery and delete it, no big deal.

It doesn't happen to me every hour but it's annoying when it happens like holding my phones in certain angle or pulling my phone out of a tight skinny jeans pocket or even lowering the volume something the power button sometimes gets in the way and when lowering the volume the power button gets pressed with the volume down alongside sometimes. I would have liked it if they made press and hold power button + volume down for 2s to take a screenshot rather than making it instant. Like every once in awhile it happens to me and I'd like some sort of a solution

Hi, we recommend you to try deactivating capturing a screenshot by swiping and please check if it resolves your issue.
launch the Settings app, tap Advanced features → Motions and gestures, and then tap the Palm swipe to capture the switch to deactivate it.

I don't have issue with palm swipe it's the volume down + power key instant screenshot I have a problem with, when my phone is in certain angle these button gets accidentally pressed or pulling it out of a tight pocket they should give us an opition to set time I hate it that it's instant.

Is there an update after 2 years? I have the same frustration with unwanted screenshots caused by the side buttons.
