Boot your phone into safe mode and see if the problem still occurs. Safe mode prevents any third-party software from running. If your phone behaves itself in safe mode, your problem is being caused most likely by an app you installed, which you will need to identify and uninstall.

Try Circle to Search and see if any of the results resembles a recently downloaded app .

Personally I think you should check for apps and find the culprit seems some cam type of app maybe one you installed and forgot

Could it be a voice app? I did a circle to search and something called duble voice came up. It looked very similar.
