Android Central Question
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy J7 Perx (my more expensive smartphone died vs the Pacific Ocean), and it's been fine, until this week. Apps and other random things in the phone will be open when I hit the bottom left 'show me everything that's running' menu button (whatever that thing's called), including apps like Boomerang I've installed from elsewhere, but also default stuff like Files, the Help menu, Samsung Internet, and worryingly, Hotspot controls. I don't like a lot of clutter on my phone and NOTHING besides texts and calls has permission to show me alerts. This is NOT at start-up, this is at random times throughout the day. No one else has access to my phone, and I don't know how these things are opening, and Googling hasn't helped. Do I have a virus? Is someone accessing my phone? I'm currently visiting family for the holidays, and I'm on wifi most of the time, but it's password protected wifi, and this has never happened to me elsewhere.
