My camera randomly opens when I unlock the S23. Any fixes out there?

Hi Jack5092,
 

If your Samsung Galaxy S23’s camera randomly opens when you unlock the phone, it might be due to some settings or accidental gestures.

Check if the camera opening by itself is the Quick Launch Camera feature, which allows you to quickly open the camera by pressing the power button twice.

  • Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures > Find and toggle off Quick Launch Camera if it’s enabled.

Your lock screen might have a camera shortcut that you’re accidentally tapping when unlocking the phone.

  • Go to Settings > Lock Screen > Shortcuts > Make sure the camera isn’t set as a shortcut or change it to something else.

If none of the above work, resetting the camera settings could fix any glitches that might be causing the random camera launch.

  • Open the Camera app > Tap the Settings gear icon > Scroll down and select Reset settings.

Thank you.

Thanks for jumping in with the tips. But the first two menu options you provided are not on my phone. No quick launch, and no lock screen shortcuts in the menu. No worries. Just FYI. Thanks for the help.
