I got a new phone about a month ago bc I was having what seemed like malware issues on my old phone.
Not having the same issues but have had some odd things with the new phone, like unlocking my phone and seeing the green camera icon running for some reason then disappearing.
I also leave my VPN always on but my phone started doing this auto update thing around 1 am for the last 2 nights that turns off my phone for the update.
I forgot about it both times bc I was half asleep when it happened, but as a result completely forgot it reset my phone and turned off my VPN.
About a week ago I woke up after not using my phone all night and had a notification that glance App was running in the background on my phone.
I didn’t know what that was, but from what I can tell it’s not supposed to be an actual app you have the option to install right? But my phone is showing it as an app that was installed under a Gmail account I had on my phone, but had never logged into Googleplay with to accept terms and conditions beforehand.
The link is a screenshot of the app.

I do have face unlock option but it’s showing in settings it’s never been set up. No app permissions I wasn’t aware of except android system intelligence. I tried to switch it to always ask permission but it just disappeared
