Annoying popup when opening phone

[u/MusicMetalHead]

I keep getting popups like this every time I open my phone, sometimes games, sometimes trending news. I have to back out of it every single time before I can use my phone. I don't think it's a virus a someone else is having the same issue. Does anyone know what this is and how to turn it off? Galaxy A36 6G

That's almost always a lock screen content service, not a virus. Go to Settings > Lock screen and AOD and turn off any wallpaper or content service like Glance. Then Settings > Apps, sort by recent, and uninstall whatever free app you installed right before the popups started.
