Camera comes on by itself
My iphone 13 camera comes on by itself and runs the battery down. It also gets very hot. Does anyone know of a fix.

Hey jecrowell,
It's odd that your camera would turn on by itself. When you notice this, do you find an app open that uses the camera? You can check which apps are open using these steps Switch apps on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You may also find some helpful information in the battery usage area using these steps: About the battery usage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
If you find an app is turning on the camera when it shouldn't be, check the app settings and make sure the app is updated as that can help with odd issues too: How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support
Let us know what you find.
Take care!
