when making screenshots on my iPhone gradient pictures appear in my Photos app

Since somewhere last year something is happening when I take screenshots on my iPhone: every time I take a screenshot a gradient picture appears along with the screenshot in my Photos app. I have no idea why this is and frankly it irritates the **** out of me.


Does anyone know why this happens and what can be done about it?

iPhone 16 Pro
