My phone unlocked and took a photo without me touching it. How is this possible?

[AC Question]

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge running android 7.0
It randomly unlocked and took a photo without me touching it at all. it happened today and i looked through my previous photos and it had happened two days ago aswel.

My only concern really is could it be a hacker or something trying to get information through the camera?

Thanks

Maybe you got an app that takes photo whenever you typed your password incorrectly. Do you have a clean master/other security thingy apps on your phone?

Seems like one of your apps is a malware. Did you recently download or install any apps from any untrusted source? If yes then probably your phone is hacked and someone is getting your pictures maybe information too.
You should backup your data and do factory reset. And then very carefully install your apps and check for apps permissions.
