My wife’s Samsung Galaxy S26 runs on its own.
Update: There was an NFC tag stuck on her phone case, probably by someone from H&R Block. After we removed it, it got fixed.
Not sure if this classifies as phantom touch because the apps/sites they visit are same every time. The phone starts navigating on its own like someone is controlling it. It taps around, opens Google, and repeatedly tries to go through a “Sign in with Google” flow for H&R Block. One time we also noticed it briefly went to birdeye.com.
This happens at seemingly random times, even when she is scrolling social media, or watching a video, or even when she is not touching the phone, like reading something. But every time it keeps trying to go to the same H&R Block login flow.
Has anyone seen malware or an Android issue behave like this before? Any ideas on what to check would help a lot because we are totally lost.
