Camera comes on by itself

My XR iPhone camera turns on by itself. I can be reading email or any number of things and all of a sudden the camera comes on.

iPhone XR, iOS 15

That is definitely not normal behavior. First try turning the iPhone off and back on again. If that does not help, then try a Force Restart. Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

If that does not help, the next two steps would be to create a backup of the iPhone and restore to that backup and test. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

If that does not work, the next step would be to restore the device to factory and set it up as new, not from a backup. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
