3. Update Your Software*: Ensure your phone's operating system and all apps are up to date. Developers often release updates to patch security vulnerabilities.
4. Install Antivirus Software*: Install a reputable antivirus app from the Google Play Store and run a full system scan. Follow the app's instructions to remove any detected threats.
5. Clear Cache and Data*: In your phone's Settings, go to Storage and clear the cache and data for any suspicious apps or those you've uninstalled.
6. Reset Your Phone*: If the problem persists, consider factory resetting your phone. Make sure to back up important data before doing so, as this will erase all data on your device.
