Apple

How the fck you doing this???

Gotta be wearing it way too low on your wrist. There’s no other way!

Needs to be above (towards shoulder) of your ulnar, like any watch since watches.

Hmmm, this doesn’t seem to happen with my Ultra.

Add me to the enabled but have never accidentally triggered a screenshot club

Damn, seems like Siri is threatening you. Are you alright? Blink twice for help!

I turn screenshots off. The two button click is much more useful to pause/unpause workouts

Agreed. I don't even realize how I"m taking them.

Hmmm, this doesn’t seem to happen with my Ultra.

I felt a big increase in quality of life when I finally turned off Apple Watch screenshots. Because of this problem.

However I eventually turned them back on because I wanted to screenshot something. And have not turned them off since, so the screenshots are piling up again.

Wish it was a simple control center toggle.

Mine is enabled, have never taken an accidental screenshot (ultra 2). I can’t even remotely touch any button accidentally, must be wearing it awful low or something.

After reading some comments, I guess it's not that common.

But it does happen to me a lot. I have my watch orientation reversed (most would say upside down) because my jacket and ski poles straps hit the buttons when the crown faces towards my wrist. So I am using my thumb to hit the crown and I take inadvertent screenshots pretty often.

I have screenshots enabled and my question is also "How?"
I have 0 accidental screenshots with my Ultra. In fact, I often find it difficult to even get both buttons pressed simultaneously to get the screenshots when I actually want them.

Same here. But I never had it enabled until the ultra. But I’m sure it would have been just as bad for me.

Funny, i dont even know how to take a screenshot on purpose! :) I assumed it couldnt be done.

i have zero. weird.

I have 2,566 accidental screenshots

I've done this a few times. It's because the Crown is recessed and if I'm being lazy, I'll press flat against the entire side of the watch and that will press the side button along with the crown and a screenshot is taken.

You can disable screenshots if you like

To be fair, not sure why you would want screenshots enabled. I use the the 2 buttons to pause my run, walk etc.

This happens to me all the time when I’m bending my wrist like doing push ups. I may swap my button orientation or just turn off screenshots which I guess I don’t really use all that much anyway.
