I let one person on my phone, for not even a minute and watched what they did on it, plus they have nothing to gain from monitoring my phone and I don't see them as that kind of person. However, my brand new S22's battery is draining way faster than it was when I got the phone and my memory usage usually sits around 4.3-4.5 gb where as now it'll sit anywhere between 4.6-5.8gb until I force stop a bunch of apps. That will help the problem for about a day until it reverts back to draining and running super slow again... I've checked all my apps on my phone, including system apps, ran Google Play protect, ran device and battery care, I have 3 anti virus' I still need to check out (McAphee / Norton360 / AVG Antivirus) but I cannot see or catch anything suspicious...it almost seems malware like..... I haven't downloaded any new apps, I've checked my apps memory and battery usage and my top used apps don't seem to be an issue... Any ideas??

If it wasn't too long ago, you could try to look into the Notification history to see if something occurred at the time you lent your phone.

Settings.  Notifications.  Advanced Settings.  Notification history.

That shows a history of the notifications on your phone.  This is a really neat feature.  Wished they offered it before.

This will be the last time I'll TRY to drive home the point. 

"antivirus" software runs constantly in the background. This Member has THREE (3) "antivirus" packages running on their device! THIS will ABSOLUTELY drain the living daylights out of the battery...

The only notification that I'd be looking for, would be "You DON'T need to use "antivirus" software on your Android". THAT would be a useful Notification 😉
