System Accessing Camera without any need or reason.

[mauvin11]

The system is accessing phone camera every 2-3 minutes without any need or reason. I thought it was an third party app so I revoked access to all apps. It turned out it was system itself. I had some suspicions so installed an access monitor and it turned out to be true.
Looks Fishy, Should I worry about privacy?
1. My face unlock feature is turned off
2. Auto Brightness is turned off

The app you are talking about shows a green dot on the top of your display while camera is being used by an app, right ?

@Falcon_ASUS here we have one more users with the same issue. This plague has infected every device. Having very limited technical knowledge @abhaykrishnan02 was able to get camera logs (he too included his screenshot above) without any hassle. Just download any camera access detector and you'll have the required data. Hope asus's technical experts understand this better than us (users).
