Hello, I am posting today about a security warning I got on my samsung galaxy a24 at 6 AM this morning.

I had set an alarm for 6, and it went off like usual. But when I swiped up to stop the alarm going, I got a strange screen error. The screen went grey, and a large lock took  up most of the screen with words along the lines of "Security alert / Security permissions." It vanished too fast for me to get a proper look, but I know there was more text and an action button.

I have been unable to find any other information on the internet, and so I've drawn a mock up of what the error looks like. Does anyone have any idea what this could be or mean?

Thank you!

Would it have been the accidental touch, looks like this. This can be turned off in settings > Display. image_1000005084_1687780145.jpg

Unfortunately that's not it. My phone was on my desk, and I only swiped upwards and then didn't touch it again  - thanks anyway!

Sadly that's not it - the lock was a lot bigger, and there seemed to be a button at the bottom - But thanks anyway!
