maybe this is about what you ask

"Copied to clipboard." pop-up always appears after a screenshot

Is there a way to disable "Copied to clipboard." from appearing on the screen after taking a screenshot? It started appearing after I installed the One UI 5.0 beta.

No, that is a privacy setting in Android 13 that optionally allows a toast to be shown whenever an app copies from the clipboard. This pops up for a few seconds when the clipboard is set.

Yes. It allows you to obscure sensitive data copied to the clipboard but I can find no way to block the overlay from displaying which is incredibly annoying and distracting

Whoever thought this was a good idea should be hung drawn and quartered ?

This is a shot in the dark , and I am not in a position to test .

If all else fails , possible installing a third party clipboard manager might solve your problem.
