iPhone, 13 and 15 screen blinks as if a screenshot was taken when deleting recent message or recent call

Screen blinks like it takes a screenshot when removing a recent message or changing certain settings,, is this malware, or something embedded from sophisticated hackers, it’s very concerning if anyone aware of this and is smart enough, please help me out😮‍💨 iPhone, 15 and 13 just got hit with this, is this a normal thing? A normal action where it blinks like it’s taking a screenshot, the same type of flash, I mean any feedback would be legitimately a huge help.

iOS / iPadOS devices cannot be infected** with Viruses / Malware / Spyware unless you have intentionally downloaded spurious software or unauthorized apps directly from the internet and installed them on your device or/and have Jailbroken



**The primary reason for this is Sandboxing. All third-party apps are “sandboxed”, so they are restricted from accessing files stored by other apps or from making changes to the device. Sandboxing is designed to prevent apps from gathering or modifying information stored by other apps.


Security of runtime process in iOS and iPadOS - Apple Support



The sandbox on an iPhone is a security feature that creates a restricted environment for each app to run in isolation from other apps and the operating system. It is a core component of iOS's security architecture and plays a crucial role in making iPhones more secure.
