Tik Tok randomly opens ! WHY?!

[coquit0]

So tik tok randomly opens on my phone...in the middle of writing a text or reading an article or doing anything. It started happening randomly on my s24 Ultra and when I upgrade just over a week ago to my Z fold 7 it still does it. I thought maybe getting a new device would make it stop but it hasn't. Yes I've played with the settings and even turned everything off as I do not have notifications on nor do I let it load or sit in the background but it still opens randomly and continues where I left off. I have even posted a video on my tik tok showing this happening to see if anyone else has experienced this. The only time it doesn't happen is when I fully close the app the completely. But it shouldn't be happening at all. And it's top tier annoying. Any ideas or fixed?? Has anyone else had this happen?

☆ Check for routines

If apps/dialogs are opening unexpectedly or under strange conditions (such as when charging, certain times of day, or arriving at certain locations,) make sure you have not inadvertently set up a routine. Some users have reported that routines (Samsung’s automation feature) were accidentally enabled without their knowledge. Open Modes and Routines and check if something unusual is set up.

☆ Use Samsung’s Nice Catch app

Some apps are malicious and can have undesirable effects on your device when installed, knowingly or unknowingly. If you’re experiencing unexpected or unexplained ads, pop-ups, wake-ups, etc., Samsung’s Nice Catch app can help identify the offending app so that you can delete it.


Turn on the various categories in Nice Catch.

When the undesirable behavior happens again, check Nice Catch to see which app triggered it.

Thanks so much for this info but it's absolutely not routines. I don't use this feature at all. I appreciate your time.

You probably have a malicious 3rd party app installed which is causing it. It can be a semi useful utility whose real purpose is to pop ads and windows trying to entice you to click them.

Nope. I didn't mention any ads being popped open. The only thing that opens is my tiktok and it continues from the video I left off watching.

I have the same issue, if I don't force close tiktok it'll randomly pop open again while I am typing a text or even while i am sleeping and tracking my sleep..
