My Camera app is repeatedly opening even though I am not taking any action to open it when I use iPhone. Today during a FaceTime call, the Camera app opened while the phone was unlocked without me touching anything. It didn’t end the FaceTime call, but just put the video on pause for the person I was speaking with. I force closed the Camera app, then it happened again a few minutes later.

This has happened while using Google Maps and other apps as well, while the phone is unlocked.

This is also happening while the phone is locked, just sitting on a table. All the sudden I look over and the screen is active showing the camera view.

Today this has happened at least 20 times. I need to know how to stop it.

I am on iOS 18.1 and enrolled in iOS 18 Public Beta. There are no pending software updates.

You should probably raise this as a bug in the usual way. It won't really get progressed if it's only posted in these Developer Forums.

You need to raise each issue you find separately at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ You can post the FB numbers here if you want, so that others can link to them.

Some thoughts: Is the phone in a case or stand that's hugging any of the buttons on the side? Do you have the action button configured to open Camera.app?
