Why are pics of my lock & home screen being saved in my Gallery?

[Android Central Question]

Hi! I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and recently I have been finding pics of my lock screen and home screen in my Gallery. I don't mean the pics that I set to use as backgrounds. The pics have a black background and show the time and icons. This happens daily. I don't know why this is happening and is there a way to stop it?

Welcome to Android Central! You might be accidentally taking screenshots. Since it's hard to accidentally press the Power and Home button at the same time, maybe the palm swipe gesture is turned on as well: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-take-screenshot-samsung-galaxy-s6
