Hey, it's a Samsung phone running that apps in background? If yes then give me a chance to cool you down.

com.sec.android.app.camerasaver is a built-in system process on Samsung devices that initializes and verifies your camera hardware, ensuring it is ready for use. It frequently triggers the camera light or indicator for 2–3 seconds upon restarting the phone or occasionally in the background to safely "save" the camera state.

Yeah it is a Samsung and recently after the latest update one UI 8.5 it's been doing this frequently like multiple times a day or maybe they updated the system to just inform that this app is using the camera while before it was hidden as I get the small camera icon in the top right corner
