Has somebody managed to have hands on with your phone allowing them time to download unauthorised software onto it ?

Have you downloaded anything via an apk file ?

Have you recently downloaded Android 12 with Samsung One Ui 4 ?

Look through your phone's apps for anything that looks out of place.

Look in your myfiles - downloaded files.

https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ disables downloaded apps, themes and other launchers to help determine if one or more is causing conflict. 

Clear your System File Cache via the instructions in the Samsung Link. You may need to hook upto a computer or insert your headphones to get to the recovery menu. https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ 

As a last resort back up and factory reset.

A Samsung Service Centre or Samsung Experience Store can take a look at your phone.

The advice I offer is my own and does not represent Samsung’s position.

@mateuszer: I'd also recommend heading to Settings > Battery and Device Care > Device Protection > Scan Phone, to search for malware and suspicious activity on your device.

We're here to help, @mateuszer! Are you using an official Samsung charger that is compatible with your phone? A 25W charger will allow you to superfast charge your phone. 🙂
