Random files have started appearing in my files app and I have not put any of them there. It appears to be coding and the name is always weird like json favorites. I don’t know where they’re coming from. I’ve suspected my phone has some sort of malware or virus for a while and I’m wondering if the could be something attacking my files. When I click on the file this pops up.
