Inadvertent screenshots when locking screen

From previous questions, it is clear that the capture of screenshots by pressing the power and volume buttons is a significant annoyance. I cannot turn off the phone or lock the screen without a good chance of capturing a screenshot. My photos library is filled with these screenshots even when I immediately delete the shot on the screen. This has been repeatedly pointed out to Apple for more than 4 years. Has anyone found a work around to prevent this?

Log your feedback with Apple, as mentioned above.


As a workaround, a folio case will prevent errant screenshots.
