Yellow Star on my Android

[Members_L86Ok3T]

I get a spinning yellow star on my Android S24 Ultra and can't seem to find how or why it populates. Any thoughts or ideas?

I get it too. When I first unlock.

Try going to, Good Lock > Edge Lighting + > set custom style, tap open, then check if the yellow star is selected, but I do agree with @anthonyb650 that a screenshot would help.

Does this seem to be some kind of pop-up? If you are receiving intrusive pop-ups on your device, you have likely downloaded a malicious app.

Samsung's Nice Catch App can help you locate the offending app.

Turn on "detect commercials" and "toast history" and wait for the pop up to occur. Nice catch will tell you what the offending app is so you can delete it.

Try using Nice Catch, open the app, and enable Toast history and Ad detector. The next time the spinning star appears, immediately open Nice Catch and check the history. It should show you exactly which app generated the pop-up, which you can then uninstall.

Anyone found a solution to this? I clicked on a link in FB and I get random chrome pop up ads.
