When I plug in my charger, Google or YouTube opens up with random website full of ads.

I am using Chrome as my browser, in case that's important. And I've tried numerous chargers, as a test, with no improvement.

Anyway, when I plug in my charger, Google or YouTube keep on opening on their own with random websites filled with ads. I've spent hours researching this problem and all of the solutions so far have not helped to solve this issue.

I keep seeing the below suggestion, which is confusing to me because my S22 doesn't have anything that says: Battery and device care. It only says Battery which leads to everything but the below options.

Settings > Battery and device care > Device protection > Scan phone

Please help as I'm trying to solve this without having to reset my phone.

Same exact problem with the same websites that I had never been to before. Started about a week or so ago and I've tried everything.

hey yall not a samsung user but i figured it out on my dads phone, so in the routines and modes app there’s a routine called power saver or something around that i didn’t think much of it and thought it came from samsung but turns out that’s what causes it. Delete it and it’ll stop i’m not sure from where it came from though. hope this helps

I have this same issue. I did an update yesterday it stopped. It started back up again tonight. This has to be an At&t thing if we are all having this issue.
