Blue box with white face on middle top of phone screen. When my finger goes across selfie camera it changes to red face with white line across. Other times it has pause picture. When in camera it turns into red box with exclamation point.

Welcome to the forums. Which phone do you have and which Android version is it running? What happens if you tap or hold that box? Can you drag it around your screen?
 
S9 andriod 10. Cant move box. Since it changes from blue face to red face when my finger moves over selfie camera thought it had something to do but cant find any settings that cause that. My only other thought is maybe some kind of virus?
 
Havent tried safe mode yet

Thanks to all who helped. Looking in permissions I found it was accessibility that was using the camera. After trial and error found that somehow I has activated switch access. Little face went away after turning it off. Still no idea how it was activated. Thank you again.
