Hey everyone, I'm really worried because my Samsung S20 is acting super strange. This morning, I noticed my phone vibrating like it was getting a notification, but there was nothing there. It's always been on silent mode. Then, things started getting weirder; my front camera seemed to be taking pictures by itself at random times, and the location icon on the screen was flickering on and off. This happened while I was just using normal apps, and I could feel the vibrations whether I was at the home screen or using an app. I haven't downloaded anything suspicious, so I'm confused and scared. Is it possible that someone I know might be behind this? I haven't lost any money, but I'm really concerned about the privacy of my device. After a while, the vibrations stopped, but I still want to know if anyone else has experienced this and what I can do about it!

It sounds a bit concerning, but I agree with the others. Check your haptic feedback settings and consider resetting your phone if it continues to act weird. Also, ensure that you have strong passwords and two-factor authentication set up on your accounts—it never hurts to be extra cautious. Lastly, if you’re really worried, investing in a newer phone might be a good idea since the S20 will stop receiving security updates soon.
I've had something similar happen! It's a bit creepy, right? I think it might just be your phone acting up rather than someone hacking you. Still, definitely check your app settings and see if anything looks off. You can also try clearing the cache or uninstalling apps you don’t use to see if that helps. Stay safe!
