As of last Saturday, every 6 minutes my Galaxy S20 5G will open the Messages app for a fraction of a second then return to whatever I was doing previously. I initially thought it was just the screen orientation bugging out as it always returned me in portrait view, however upon closing all apps but the one currently in use (Youtube, Twitch.tv or a mobile game) I noticed that after the flicker I'd have a blank Messages app open after pressing the Recent button. Tapping this app would appear to crash it instantly and return me to my home screen, but opening the Messages app from it's icon would have it occupy the same space in Recent so I don't think it's some other app using the same icon. I've not installed a new app on my device in at least a month save for Bitdefender today to see if it could find any problems. The only notable change was the system update on Saturday morning, as I exclusively use the phone for playing 1 mobile game (Arknights), texting and watching Youtube/Twitch.
I've booted my device in safe mode and the problem persists unchanged, I've tried clearing my cache to no avail and both my device and Messages are up to date.
Any help before I'm forced to attempt a factory reset?
I spent a while fiddling around in settings and found that going into 'Settings-> Apps-> Messages-> Appear on Top' and denying the permission stops it from happening. I'm honestly not sure what this setting even does as I still get push notifications at the top of my screen as usual, so it seems like everything's fine for now.
This is the same issue I am having with my phone since the new update. If there is a fix please let me know. I have had not had any issues with my phone until this last update. I'm getting really frustrated with the whole thing. Please help fix this.
