I got a new phone about a month ago bc I was having what seemed like malware issues on my old phone.
Not having the same issues but have had some odd things with the new phone, like unlocking my phone and seeing the green camera icon running for some reason then disappearing.
I also leave my VPN always on but my phone started doing this auto update thing around 1 am for the last 2 nights that turns off my phone for the update.
I forgot about it both times bc I was half asleep when it happened, but as a result completely forgot it reset my phone and turned off my VPN.
About a week ago I woke up after not using my phone all night and had a notification that glance App was running in the background on my phone.
I didn’t know what that was, but from what I can tell it’s not supposed to be an actual app you have the option to install right? But my phone is showing it as an app that was installed under a Gmail account I had on my phone, but had never logged into Googleplay with to accept terms and conditions beforehand.
The link is a screenshot of the app.
Seems like Glance is an app from the manufacturer, if you have a Motorola. It makes your lock screen dynamic and adds content to watch and stuff.
Don’t think it’s a problem but you could force stop and disable or uninstall it.
Don’t have an answer for which app is using the camera. Check your permissions like the other comment mentions, that’ll get you closer to figuring it out.
Also, might want to redact that email address.
What’s weird is that’s a throwaway email address I made to sign up for something but never used otherwise. Like I had never actually logged into the playstore with that address
They mean redact it from the screenshot you posted. It’s in the beta tester blurb at the bottom
