[Galaxy A32] How do I remove the news pop ups on my lock screen?

[AHj5Mxd]

I have a Galaxy A32 5G that has started showing news and ad squares/bubbles/icons/notifications, I don't know what to call them, on the lock screen. Once the screen is unlocked they disappear. I don't want to see them at all. How do I make them go away all together?

Thanks for any assistance.

The correct way I found on the Samsung 22 is as follows:

When on your lock screen:

1.  Tap the 3 vertical dots in the top right.

2. Tap "Settings"

3.  Tap "Disable headlines"  (very bottom selection}

Headlines blocks & vertical dots will be gone, when you go back to lock screen

Thank you! I was trying to figure out how to get this off of my mother's phone and this worked 😊🌟

Long-press the Power Off Button and then press the Safe Mode button.

When replying to me and or anyone in this app please click on the reply button. That way we will get a notification.

Safe Mode is a diagnostic tool on Android devices that loads the phone with only the core operating system and pre-installed apps, disabling all third-party apps. This helps troubleshoot issues by isolating whether a third-party app is causing problems.

This doesn't look quite like the official Samsung lock screen. Do you have a third-party lock screen app installed, by chance?

It's Samsung with swipe to unlock.

Okay so I just had this same issue (Samsung a53) and I discovered a new app "metro play" had installed itself to my phone.  Once I uninstalled it the bubbles went away.
