Accidental screenshots

Is there a way to change the method of taking screenshots on iPhone 13? I keep accidentally pressing the volume up and side buttons together while just holding the phone, and I end up with a collection of random screenshots to delete. It’s kind of annoying.

How do I prevent accidental screenshots on iPhone 16? I got the iPhone 16 and the way I naturally hold the phone ends up taking screenshots on accident. How do I change the settings so a screenshot uses a different setup (e.g., double tap side button)? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Too many screenshots Almost every time I grab my iPhone 11pro, it takes a screenshot. The placement of the opposing buttons are too easy to screenshot inadvertently. I wish Apple would come out with an update that addresses this issue, as it seems I’m not the only one with the problem. Maybe a double click on the two buttons would certainly eliminate this problem. Or, at least, move one of the buttons down slightly on the new model, to be released. C’mon Apple, I love all my Apple products , but I’m getting tired of deleting photos of my homepage or incoming calls and texts. This should be an easy fix.

You can ADD ways to take screenshots (e.g., backtaps, Shortcuts), but the 2-button way is always there.

Not what I hoped to hear, but thanks.
