Hi all
I am a little concerned my phone may have malware on it.
The memory cache keeps showing the "call & text on other devices" app is being used, even though I have this app turned off and have never connected my phone to another device.
It happens intermittently after phone calls. Ie one day but not the next.

If you don't use this app, it would be really appreciated, if could you please try clearing your memory cache and check if this app is using memory?
This would give me piece of mind, if others are experiencing the same.

Regards
Mike

Hello.

I checked my memory cache and under "apps not used", it also says for me that calls and text on other devices is using memory (about 20 mb as of writing). This is after I turned it on, cleared cache, turned it off and clearing cache again. I guess it must just run in the background no matter what?

Unless you've downloaded something off a random site or clicked a suspicious link recently, I wouldn't be concerned about malware on your device.

Hi @Kite100, as Call & Text on other devices is a feature part of the software, it may run in the background as a result of various factors such as software updates being installed. 

Hope this clarifies things.
