> - In traffic jams I want to grab my phone with my thumb and have it open right away as my iPhone 8 does.

This is illegal in 16 US states plus DC.

Why are you on your phone while driving?

Probably to find an alternate route.

> No I don't want to take hundreds of accidental screenshots a day & upload them to iCloud

I hear this is a thing, and fine, enough people seem to have this problem that they should probably look at that. But why are you screenshots uploading to icloud? That should only happen if you actually take the step to save the screenshots?

Sceenshots are saved by default.

Not in iOS 12. You can delete them before they save.

“by default”

There's a very long pause where they just hang out on screen before saving - it's at least ten seconds. If you tap them you can delete them from that screen.

What's making you accidentally hit the screenshot gesture?

I’m not the complainant, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
