I've seen public transportation apps doing that to curb sharing the ticket/barcode with someone else.

Time to split screen and taking a selfie via a mirror lmao
My doctor's app does this and it annoys the fuck out of me. I get test results and I want to share them with my wife and it's like nope.
Second phone or cheap camera off ebay..
There are also probably usb-c capture dongles that should work

I understand the reasoning for it since many apps can see photos on your device so if it is something that should stay private you probably shouldn't be taking screenshots anyway, but I also can see how it could be annoying. I quite like the feature on messaging apps actually.
This thing is super annoying. Maybe there is some xposed module to bypass this . i don't known my phone isn't rooted.
Some android apps bypass this but don't work 100 percent but sadly, they are the only safe option.
By safe I also mean, the others you must root so you void certain updates from your carrier in many cases, you have to search the APK code and delete a line, or you have to install a certain entity which hinders your security in other ways.
Shopping apps should have, and Amazon usually lets you email a copy of a receipt anyway. Don't know about other shopping apps. Banks and other financial institutions you would just need to contact them for records etc, and I know it is a pain.
Some browsers have settings to bypass if you are using a site that tries to stop a screenshot.
