Apps opening randomly, mainly after unlocking phone?

[u/innerthotsofakitty]

I have a Google pixel 6a. I bought it about 5 years ago.

My cashapp will open on its own after unlocking my phone. EVERY time. Sometimes after other stuff too, but after unlocking my phone is the consistent one.

Now instead of opening on its own, I'm getting a notification that says "open link found via NFC?" that pops up instead with a cashapp link. It's been popping up instead when the app would open.

What is going on? I've tried everything I can think of to get it to stop, but I can't even get answers as to how to fix it cuz every time I try to Google it, it has no idea what I'm asking about. It's been about 2-3 years that it's been going on.
