iPhone Screenshots are black

When I take a screenshot on my iPhone in any app it shows and saves just a black thumbnail/image. I have the most recent software update 18.1.1 with an iPhone 11



iPhone 11, iOS 18

this is happening for me too, but I have realised that it is only happening when I’m trying to screenshot my emails or banking app for instance. Must be a privacy feature but it’s incredibly annoying and would be great if there was a way to turn this off. Trying to screen shot a christmas order confirmation for my husband to collect while I’m in hospital… sending him the whole email instead is much less efficient that a photo of the specific information needed!
