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.

I have spent the last hour watching videos on how to do this. I did what they said and nothing changed. You answer did the trick. Simple and elegant!

I had this same situation happen to me, reguarding the news feeds @ random. Thanks to some suggestions i uninstalled 'metro play' app, which i dont recall even downloading, and it removed that bothersome news feed, that i didn't ask for.

This is the MetroPlay app. I Uninstalled mine and it went away.

Just find the purple "Metro Play" app, touch and hold until the menu pops-up, click uninstall.

This is a different Metro app that they must have pushed onto everyone's phone without asking.

At least we've identified the culprit, and Metro should give everyone a free month of service for all the grief they caused us!

Hello, if that did not fix it I removed it from my Z Fold and it was Goggle! Called the Now Bar and once I removed/disabled google (not the browser app) and restarted my device that screen is no longer there.

I started seeing the news on my lock screen. It took me a day or so to figure out. Thanks for some comments I saw. If you are having the same issues, go to Metro Play and disable the news, choose the; I want my old screen back and problem solved
