S22 taking photos while sitting

[Russianspy2244]

My s22 is taking thousands of pictures just sitting.   On charger, nobody near phone, it just took 857 photos.

I've restarted phone 5 times.  Removed the pen, removed the shortcut.   Nothing will stop this.

Please advise

@Russianspy2244  Sounds like you have a rogue 3rd party app.

"...removed the shortcut." 

What shortcut are you talking about? 

Have you tried botting into safe mode? If it doesn't take the photos while booted in safe mode, then you know that it is a 3rd party app causing the issue. 

Have you tried disabling Camera access in the quick access panel?

Thanks...I tried safe mode to no avail.   Each time I open the Gallery I have 30 blank burst photos.   I deleted over 3,000 just black photos.  

I've cleared all Cache settings, done everything Samsung said just short of a factory reset.

Did you get the photos while you were still booted in safe mode? Or was it after you exited safe mode?
