Why did my iPhone beep and say “scanning your device”

I was in an app and my iPhone beeped twice.

When I went to the notifications page to see why, it said “scanning your device”. Anyone know what’s going on?

I closed all apps and then it disappeared.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 17

iPhone beeps for a short time at the same time every day Despite being on silent, plus Bed Time focus, and having no alarms on, my iPhone (14, iOS version 18.5) makes a beeping sound every night at 11:57pm. If I raise my phone to see the screen there is no alarm or notification visible, just the bed time focus screen. The beeping stops after about 30-45 seconds. I have turned off all notifications from having sound enabled except messages and phone calls. I have no idea how long this has been going on as I only became aware of it recently when my boyfriend pointed it out (I'm usually fast asleep). Any insight into what this might be and how to stop it?

iPhone flashing light and a short beep sound Can anyone tell me why my iPhone 13 Pro Max made a loud beeping noise and briefly flashes a light? Does this have something to do with hardware? with my apple watch/Airpod Pro? Or is it possible that my phone is hacked? I already checked the LED flash for alerts and it is disabled. Also, notification for all my apps are activated for banner messages. Should I get help from an Apple center for checking my phone?

It is a bogus ad presented by a less than honest developer. If you have recently installed a new. (Perhaps a game), I would be suspicious of that app.
