My wife has a Galaxy S6 and I have an S7 Edge. A month or so ago we both started getting these weird vibration notifications and then the phone will open up to the Google Play store to some random app (although the apps seem to repeat, like 8Ball Pool is one I've seen a lot).
They seem to come in swarms, sometimes not at all, sometimes very frequent for a while.
It seemed to happen after we installed Wordfeud and Words with Friends. She has since uninstalled Wordfeud but it didn't help. I've talked to others who use those and haven't had this issue. I disabled notifications from Wordfeud and it didn't change. It could have been coincidence.
I've used Malwarebytes, Anti Adware, Lookout, and WA Security. None of them found any issues.
I also downloaded Notification Saver in case it was a legit notification that I was missing, but it doesn't show anything new when it happens.
It has gotten less frequent lately, but I still worry something is lurking on our phones. All my searching has come up empty so far. Any ideas?
