Lock Screen Adverts

[TheHousesitter]

When I open my Lock Screen to enter my PIN, I am faced with, and annoyed by full screen adverts. How do I stop these from appearing?

And, whilst on the subject, when swiping up, invariably I open the Wallet. How do I remove that Wallet bar from the screen?

Hi! Welcome to the samsung members community!

Samsung does not put advertisements on your home or lock screen. Advertisements on your home or lock screen will be caused by an app. You will need to disable or uninstall the app to get rid of the adverts

1. Open the Samsung Wallet app on your Galaxy phone. 2. Tap the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner and select Settings. 3. Tap on "Quick access" and select "Swipe up gesture" in the following menu. 4. Turn off the Lock screen, Home screen, and Screen off toggles

Go into settings and open the "appear on top" section. This shows every app that can display on top of other apps or screens. Meaning if you have an app displaying adverts, decent chance you'll see it there enabled. Look for something strange and non samsung

I hate to disagree, but I've just found a Samsung Health ad on my Lock Screen. So, that's been uninstalled!

How odd. That top section was a quote from samsung themselves I found online.

😮 something you can 'flag up' perhaps, or maybe its incorporated within the Google Play policy? But, I uninstalled that App, so the problem shouldn't reoccur.
Thanks for checking.
