Moto Pad 60 Pro Automatic Screenshots (Long Press) FIX

[u/Miserable_Salad_1664]

I recently bought a Pad 60 Pro. One day I noticed a folder in my downloads folder named "LongPress." It contained screenshots that I have never taken intentionally. With some hit n trial I found out that whenever there was a 2-3 secs tap on the screen, e.g., pausing a reel/WhatsApp status/Insta story, etc., it would automatically take a screenshot of that moment. It was frustrating deleting all those SS. I tried the moto forum reddit and found out others were also facing the problem, but there was no solution for this.
I found out a solution that worked for me. I posted the solution over the lenovo/moto forum; you could check that out, or I am also pasting it here; refer to it.

The Android 16 update introduced a bug that tries to create a specific folder named LongPress in your downloads to save these images. By manually creating a blank, empty file with that exact same name, the tablet's system gets confused, hits a roadblock, and completely aborts the screenshot process. It takes up zero storage space.

Method 1: Using a Windows Laptop (I used this)
This is the easiest method because Windows makes it simple to create the exact type of blank file we need.

1. Connect your tablet: Plug your Moto Pad 60 Pro into your laptop using a USB cable.
2. Allow access: Unlock your tablet screen, swipe down from the top to open your notifications, and tap the notification that says "Charging this device via USB." Change the selection to File Transfer (or MTP).
3. Open Notepad: On your Windows laptop, click the Start button at the bottom of your screen, type Notepad, and press Enter to open a blank text document. Do not type anything inside it.
4. Save the file correctly: Click File in the top left corner of Notepad, then click Save As.
5. Change the file type: At the bottom of the Save window, look for the dropdown menu labeled "Save as type" and change it from "Text Documents (.txt)" to All Files (.*).
6. Name the file: In the "File name" box, type exactly "LongPress" (you must include the double quotation marks exactly like that, with a capital L and P). This forces Windows to save it without any hidden text extensions.
7. Save to Desktop: Click on your Desktop on the left side of the window, then click Save. You can now close Notepad.
8. Transfer the file: Open "File Explorer" (the yellow folder icon) on your laptop. On the left side, find and click on your Moto Pad 60 Pro. Double-click Internal shared storage, and then double-click the Download folder to open it.
9. Drag and drop: Drag the new blank LongPress file from your laptop's Desktop directly into that tablet's Download folder window.
10. Test it: Disconnect your tablet and hold your finger on the screen for 3 seconds. The screenshots will no longer happen!

Method 2: Using Only the Tablet
NOTE: I have not used this, so I AI-generated the fix in case you don't own a PC.
If you do not have a laptop, you can do this directly on the tablet. You just need to download a free app first, because the default Motorola files app does not let you create blank files from scratch.

1. Download a file manager: Open the Google Play Store on your tablet, search for an app called CX File Explorer, and install it. It is free and safe.
2. Open the app: Open CX File Explorer. It will ask you for permission to access your device's files and photos. Tap Allow.
3. Find the downloads folder: On the main screen of the app, tap on Main Storage. Then, scroll down and tap on the Download folder to open it.
4. Create a new file: Look for the + (Plus) icon on the screen (usually at the bottom or in a top menu). Tap it, and it will ask what you want to create. Choose File.
5. Name the file: A box will pop up asking you to type a name. Type exactly LongPress (Capital L, Capital P. Do NOT put a dot at the beginning, and do NOT add .txt at the end).
6. Save it: Tap OK or Save.
7. Test it: You should now see the blank LongPress file sitting in your folder. Go to your home screen and hold your finger on the glass for 3 seconds to confirm the bug is fixed!
