Apps opening in background by itself

So, I’ve noticed checking my battery in the morning.. the photos app would open in the background on and off for like 2 minutes at a time while my phone is charging. I’m asleep and not opening this. What does it mean?

iPhone 14, iOS 17

Why is it reflecting recently deleted apps in my battery settings when I have not deleted any app? I was checking the battery usage on my iPhone for the past 19 days and i see “Recently deleted apps” listed as 6h 14m on screen and 3h 25m on screen. I haven’t deleted any apps recently (especially one that i would spend 6 hours on). What could possibly cause this? Thanks, looking forward to someone’s response! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Photos App Draining Battery My battery has been draining very quickly for over a month now. When I check my battery in the setting app, the number one activity by app is always photos. It's showing something like a few minutes on screen activity, but hours of background activity. How can I solve this problem?

Photos running in background is draining battery My photos app is using a ton of my battery and it’s running in the background. I have ICloud Photos turned off and background app refresh turned off. How do I fix this? My battery is draining fast and I have a brand new iPhone16 pro. I don’t use the photos app much but it’s being used in the background. Please help me!
