Hey everyone, I was studying today when my Samsung Galaxy phone vibrated out of the blue. I had both the Wi-Fi and mobile data turned off, so I was confused. When I looked at the phone, there were no notifications or battery warnings, but I noticed that the green icons indicating my camera and microphone were used popped up and then disappeared quickly. This has got me concerned—could it be malware or spyware? Should I take any precautions?

Yeah, I've seen similar behavior on my parents' phones too. They didn’t have any apps running that would use the camera or microphone, even the system apps. It’s definitely odd, but it might not be malware if the permissions are all in check. Just keep an eye on any unusual activity!
That makes sense! It might just be a glitch. I've experienced it rarely on my Galaxy S10+, but it usually happens at work. Pretty weird!
