Urgent: Unexpected Screen Recording and Location Activation on My Samsung Device

[Mo_z1]

I recently noticed a concerning issue on my phone it randomly started screen recording and enabled location at the same time while I was using Facebook . However, there was no visible indication that the screen was being recorded—only the location icon was displayed.

When I tapped the location icon to turn it off, the screen recording stopped immediately as well. This happened without my permission, and I did not initiate the screen recording or location tracking manually.

I am concerned that this could be a system bug or a potential security issue. how I can prevent it from happening again.

Hi @Mo_z1 and warm welcome to the community 👋

Are you using any routines who might trigger that?

Try uninstall and reinstall Facebook app.

Settings > apps > 3 vertical dots at the top > reset app preferences

Try wipe cache partition of the phone.

Hold power and volume down buttons simultaneously (7-10 seconds usually) until samsung logo appears and release it.
