I got enabled the double tap in the back to take screenshots, maybe is that, I turned off, let's see what happens, thanks for your assistance.

Oh, forgot about the back tap action. Maybe set it to triple tap if you choose to turn it back on.

I had to turn that off too, too many times accidentally taking a screenshot.

That's why I went with the double tap of the home button; but you don't use the navigation bar, so that won't work for you.  I actually tried the back tap action, but a) I could never tap the right place consistently and, b) I am not normally holding my phone when taking a screen shot - it's usually flat on my desk, so the home button was the better option for me.

As I said, try the triple-tap as the action.  Less likely to trigger accidentally.

turn off the screenshot toolbar and other settings

Go to Settings.

Tap on Advanced features.

Select Screenshots and screen recordings.

Toggle off "Show toolbar after capturing" to remove the toolbar that appears after taking a screenshot.

You can also find other options here, such as "Hide status and navigation bars," which you can disable. 

To prevent screenshots in specific apps

Go to Settings.

Tap on Security and privacy or Secure Folder.

Look for an option like "App Lock" or "Block screenshots" and enable it for the apps you want to protect. 

To disable gesture-based screenshots

Go to Settings.

Search for "Gestures" or look for "Motions and gestures".

Find the setting for "Palm swipe to capture" and toggle it off.
