Solved: Re: Foreign speaking voice

Every now and then a foreign speaking voice just starts talking out of the blue. I havd absolutely no idea what it is saying and no apps open. It only happens when sound is unmuted

@Hector

Check the notification sounds for both chats and group messages.

Sometimes these can get corrupted, esp if you have previously used a different phone and restored your whatsapp settings to a new one.

Also check if "Lock Screen talkback accessibility" is on.

Could be "Hey Google" ?

Try saying "Hey Google" when in range of yout phone and see if you get the same voice?
