Anyone have an issue where your camera turns on by itself while driving? 

It's in my phone holder, and with the new driving law, you can't even touch the phone to swipe out of a program. 

Regardless, it shouldn't be going that.

Could your car holder be double tapping the side button and auto launching the camera?

You can change that shortcut in phone settings -> Advanced features -> Side button

That's an excellent thought. I'll try that next time I'm in the car.
Thanks!

That was an excellent idea, but the button is 1/2" above where the grips touch the phone.

Also, as I just placed the phone down on the table, the camera came on.

Do you have Good Lock's Registar enabled? Possibly configured so taps on the back would launch the camera?

I did have the back tap enabled. Let's see how it goes with it off.
A couple of great ideas, LH... Thanks!

This was the problem. No issues since I disabled the back tap. Thank you!

You seem very knowledgeable. I'm sure this isn't something that you care to get into but perhaps you can tell me where to go. I am an older person and being not well would be an understatement.
I use an A16 5g for my phone and also a Samsung lite 4, I think. Anyway, it works quite well and would do more if I weren't the owner.
Where do I find the settings that should be turned on or off for this model? I usually have both when I do get out. Also, can I use the Avast Premium on both? Someone told my husband that I should not have it on my phone. When I run the scan, it tells me I have a couple of advanced issues and on the phoneI have no clue how to do this. If you can't help me, I totally understand and I thank you for reading this.

You should create a new thread instead of posting in an unrelated thread.

Open the Settings app to access you're phone's settings.
