The first step to determine the cause of the issue is to check the application permissions.
Explanation: The camera shutter noise is usually an indication that the camera application is running or has recently taken a photo. However, since there are no new pictures in the photo album, it is likely that the camera application is running in the background without the user's knowledge. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as an outdated or malicious application or a glitch in the phone's operating system.
Therefore, the first step should be to check the application permissions. This will allow you to see which applications have access to the camera and whether they have been granted permission to run in the background. If you find that an application is running in the background without permission, you can either uninstall it or disable its background processes to prevent it from causing any further issues.
Uninstalling the camera application or resetting the phone to factory settings should only be done as a last resort after all other troubleshooting steps have been exhausted. Updating all the applications on the phone and running any pending OS updates can also be helpful in resolving the issue, but they are not as critical as checking the application permissions.
