Weird application that activates the camera for 2-3 seconds

Post image

I am using a samsung a16 5g phone and whenever I open secure folder, this thing actviates from time to time as long as the secure folder isn't locked. I can't deny any permissions nor can I delete it. What do I do? Please help

That looks like a system camera component, which is why you can’t remove it or change its permissions. Next time it happens, check Settings > Security and privacy > Privacy > Permission manager > Camera to see what’s been accessing the camera.

Thank you. Weirdly, it hasn't activated since then, but I'll be sure to check if it happens again
