Whenever I swipe the screen on my S7 to unlock it, Chrome opens. Is there a way to stop this?

[Android Central Question]

It is always the same website. Chrome is my browser so I do not want to change it. I haven't changed or added any apps recently. This has been happening for about 4 months.

Do you have chrome set as a icon on the lock screen?

Welcome to the forums. That's probably caused by an app that you installed.

This guide can help you to identify which app is pushing those ads.

Welcome to Android Central! Is it always opening to a specific website (especially an ad)?

Maybe it's a third party lock screen app or something similar since they said it always opens the same website. Worth checking which apps are enabled as Device Administrator in the security settings.

Oops, not sure how I missed that. I'd wonder then if it's clearly an ad site. It'd be nice to see a screenshot of the site: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ide-how-post-screenshots-android-central.html
