Tried screenshotting with my thumb on the screen and got this weird double image

I was trying to grab a shot of a menu on my phone last night at dinner and my thumb was literally resting on the screen. The phone captured my thumbprint like a weird overlay over the text, making it look like I photoshopped a fingerprint onto it. I tried it again on purpose to see if it would happen and it actually worked, now I have a whole folder of these glitchy screenshots. Has anyone else gotten accidental art from bad screenshot technique?

Haha nice, guess you invented a new filter called "thumbprint noir." Pretty sure you just turned your phone into a low-rent fingerprint scanner by accident.

Double down on that fingerprint filter idea, right? Now I'm sitting here trying to capture my whole thumbprint in perfect detail like some kind of detective collecting evidence. Been holding my phone at weird angles and using different parts of my thumb to see if the ridges come out clearer. Got a scary good one where you can actually see the swirl pattern, feels like I'm building a police file on myself.
