I continually receive notices that stay on the screen saying "App Unidentified is using your camera".

1. How do I identify the App?

2. How do you close out notices that pop-up and don't want to be deleted.

Thanks,

Bry

@userY0JlLWuabN Have you checked which apps have permission to use the camera?

  1. Open the phone settings
  2. Click on Security and privacy
  3. Click on Permission manager
  4. Click on Camera

Have you tried pulling down the quick panel and tapping the green camera icon to see which app is using the camera? Run a scan for malware or spyware. Go to the open apps screen and see if there is a circled number in the upper right corner, which indicates apps running in the background. If there is, tap it to see which apps and end any you do not recognize.  If any of this finds an app you did not install or give permission to, uninstall it.
