Apps randomly popping open when I unlock it

[mustang7757]

This is happening for me. It's been going on for a few months. Pixel 5 with June 2021 update. When I unlock, I get a random app screen. It's not running in the background. It is the active app.

Do you have any apps locked to recent app list ?

Not that I'm aware of. I don't even know how to do that. Nothing is pinned

How often does this happen?

Before you lock or put your phone to sleep, do you exit to the homescreen? If you let the phone go to sleep while an app is still open, it will unlock to that app.

That's not often the app that opens. I usually exit to home before locking my phone.

How often does this happen?

Almost 100% of the time. It doesn't even have to be a recently used app.

Can you post a video or screenshot of this happening?

Is the phone mostly stock? Meaning no lock screen apps, anti virus programs or Ad guard?

Yep, me too. Pixel 5 with stock Launcher. When I unlock with the fingerprint reader on the back, it opens a random app that was not running when locked (calendar, weather, gallery, etc).
