 might sound crazy, but I always think my phone is getting hacked if someone's controlling my phone, because my app's open when I close them last night, I made a fake one and that was logged in this morning and my stuff get move around on my phone. I shut off and turn it back on stopped Crazy

Your screen maintains a constant electrostatic charge. When your finger touches the glass, it "steals" some of those electrons, creating a measurable drop in the capacitance at that specific spot. The result, sensors at the corners or in a grid under the glass detect this change and pinpoint exactly where your finger is and respond accordingly.

Try swapping the power cord and charger. Some can create a strong fluctuating magnetic field that the phone might be interpreting has a touch. Also, check for other devices near your phone, such as a speaker. These emit a large magnetic field that can tamper with you phone.

Fun Fact: Did you know that your heart emits a larger magnetic field than does your brain? It's true.

Some very helpful stuff, Dan2023, thanks for sharing! Hey, honeyBaby84, I can certainly understand why you would be alarmed. It sounds like you are describing "Ghost Touch" (unintended screen inputs). This is often caused by physical interference or software bugs.
> Clean the screen: Use a soft, microfiber cloth to remove any oil, dirt, or moisture.
> Check your screen protector: A cracked or poorly applied protector can trap air or debris, triggering false touches.
> Adjust Sensitivity: Go to Settings > Display and toggle Accidental touch protection to ON and Touch sensitivity to OFF.
> Like Dan2023 said, swap the power cords and charger. 

More importantly, make sure to secure your accounts. 
> Change Passwords: Update your Samsung Account and Google account passwords from a different, trusted device.

> Review Active Sessions: In your Samsung and Google account settings, check the "Devices" or "Security" tabs for any unrecognized logins and select Sign out or Remove for those devices.

> Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of protection so no one can log in even if they have your password.
