Photos app keeps opening on MacBook

I've plugged my phone into my MacBook Air to charge it, but the Photos app keeps automatically opening when it's connected. Every time I try to quit it, it keeps reopening on its own and the computer automatically brings me to the window the desktop is in or brings the app to the top of all app windows, so I can't get any work done with the phone plugged in.

On the Photos app on Mac, the screen keeps switching between "Preparing to import from iPhone" and "Unlock iPhone" and the regular library of photos, even if my iPhone is unlocked and on its Photos app, and it's this constant switching that makes the computer keep panning over to the window.

I'm not sure what to do. I've restarted both my computer and phone, so I wondered if the problem came from my updating to Catalina 10.15.7, but in the days between the update and this instance, nothing like this happened when I plugged the phone in.
