sometimes is also good saving a screenshot of your Bitcoin phrase and sending a copy to your wife as a back up plan.

Do you know the reason why most wallets disable mobile screen recording and screenshots from their wallets? This is because it's considered risky, as your mobile phone is not your private phone, you can't guarantee not sharing the phone with anyone on one to two occasions, and you can't also be sure of which third-party apps have access to your wallet.

It's considered very risky, mate. Instead of taking screenshots of the wallet phrase, why not make use of any piece of paper, write down the phrase, and safely give it to your spouse if you may? And if you are not close with each other, you can also use any encrypted message method to send it across to her where she will be the only one to have access to it, or better yet, you can make use of PDF and include an access pin to it where the one with the pin can alone be the one to open it, and then you still make use of any encrypted mailing means to send it across rather than taking a screenshot and sending it through, which means, if I may ask.
Yeah that's true, most wallet disable screenshot of your seed phrase because obviously they know the risk behind it, like you said your phone isn't all that personal and since you can for some reasons kinda give it someone who maybe needs to collect some kind of file from it, for example even your kids, siblings can make use of your mobile and by mistake exposing your seed phrase to eye which are not supposed to view and by so tempering with the access to your wallet. We must understand that our seed phrase is way more important than even the pin to your bank apps because you can recover those very easily but your phrase is something else except only you have it backed up but even at that can still lose your coins if it seen by the wrong eyes
Basing up on my real experience when it comes on screenshoting some private keys Ex. Electrum, there's no way that you could really be able to do that on which there's no way that you can able to ss out.
I thought that there's something wrong with my phone which it cant make out some screenshot but to know that it was indeed a feature on which you cant really be able to do so. Its true that its not that ideal on storing up those keys or images on your mobile phone and it should really be that private as much as possible or away from other peoples awareness.You would really be putting yourself at huge trouble
once those keys would really be exposed. This is why storing them would be your outmost priority specially if it does contain your crypto savings or investment which would really be intend and saved up
for your future and with your family. Giving out inheritance then teaching them would be the key, you could store up those keys on a flashdrive or putting it on a will so that on the time comes
that you do pass away then they do at least know on how to access those coins for them to make use of it and wont really be putting up your hard work to waste.
