Two weeks ago when i was trying to delete some photos unrecoverable way, i found something weird. After i format data, flashed aex rom. Then installed diskdigger (recovery app). Started to scan if i can still recovery my photos. The weirdness started there. i found screenshots of my phone usage. There was random screeenshots when i was looking settings after rom flash, when looking gallery app even when calling someone...

So i started to test this weirdness.
1- Format data-system-internal > Still seeing new screenshots.
2-in twrp, resize or change file system > Still new screenshots.
3-Change roms (with gapps or without gappps) Still....

Somethings to know,
1- All things done after clean install. No apk, no additional app. Only diskdigger to search.
2-I tried Aex 5.8-6.1, Bliss, Los 15 ( with and without gapps)
3- After rom install, i used phone about 15-30 min. Then start to app(digger)
4- I tried miuipro 9.5.10, xiaomi eu 10.0.2.0, xiaomi.eu 10.1.2.0, miroom 10.0.2.0 - - Didn't find any random screenshots
5- Before i start recovery app i tried to find these screenshots on my own. With es file manager searched everywhere for .jpg nothing found.
6- Recovered screenshots not showing even in gallery app. I have to go in file manager to open them in gallery app.

Sorry for my bad english. Hope u understand what im telling you.

Now i tried with pixel experience. This time completely offline mode without internet connection. Before flashing rom, i change file system to exfat than change back to ext4. So completely destroyed data. Even with all the things i did still seeing new screenshots of my usage.

Edit: After 2nd run of diskdigger none of the screenshots came.Weird. Now rebooted and running again.

Edit 2: After 3rd run some weird screenshots came again. This time with my browsing usage.

Try AOSIP and post your results. This is very very interesting.

I'm now flashing it without any kernel or gapps package, with complete data wipe with ext4 to exfat to f2f2 to ext4 again.

Edit: Same with AOSIP. Still finding new screenshots of my usage. Will try miui 10 and 9 again.

Another test with another rom. This time with bootleggers 4.0.
Steps i did
1- Removed sim card before installing rom so when it boots impossible 2 connect internet.(No wifi connection)
2- Flashed with gapps. (Changes nothing)
3- As always format data before flashing.
4-Only one apk installed from internal storage.(Diskdigger)

And the result is same. Still getting my usage screens.

I flashed Bootleg rom and downloaded app from play store scanned the device and nothing was found. Here are screenshots. will try with official miui.
This is more interesting. Can u look 4 ignored ones. Usually they'r small so app can ignore them. And you using root scan method? Btw in miui select jpg and png.
For me, finally flashed dotos nougat. For now no screenshot.

Am having the same problem with my Oneplus 3 running on the Android pie (9.0).
Plz post if you find a solution,
am really scared if someone hacked my device, and feeling very unsafe to use my phone.

I am breaking my head from past a week on this problem,
By the way, Where did you purchase your mobile? From Amazon?
If yes, please check if any bloatware or adware of Amazon is preinstalled and the same adware is causing the problem.
