Will someone please tell me if this is adware or not? I don't download random apps but found this strange to see when I took my phone off the charger this morning and again when I just put it on my wireless charger at work. This is not my normal lock screen and I have no idea where it's coming from.
Anyone else experience this?

if you tap the three vertical dots on the top right of the screen you will get some options

[Shon123]

The only option I get is to set the phone to mute

same thing happened to me this morning... I do NOT install random apps either

Me too! I looked at my list of recently updated apps and none of them are ones that have ads or unwanted add-ons.

Looks like it may be Peel Smart remote!! That stupid app gets worse with every update. I read the reviews and someone mentioned they were having the same issue! I just uninstalled it so hopefully that'll fix it.

That could be it. It was one of the apps in my list of recently updated apps.

I confirm that could be it Peel Smart remote as it was one of the apps in my list of recently updated apps;
but I have not tried to uninstall it. Is there an option to remove the lock screen and keep the app?

Something similar is described in the official Peel forum, but the informations are not complete:

I don´t think it is Peel. Can it have something to do about new OS coming out soon?

I disabled it because I don't use it anyway, but before I did, I selected mute for now from the 3 dots on the top right and it went away. However, I didn't try plugging the charger in again before I disabled it, so I don't know how long it would've been muted.

It's most likely Peel. Look at the recent reviews in Google Play. Tons of people are complaining about it.

[Shon123]

I went ahead and disabled Peel Smart (since I can't uninstall it) and it went away so it's definitely that app. There was an update for the app yesterday but I didn't bother updating it to see if it would get rid of their lock screen.

Thing is, they are also complaining about ads..wich there was none, for me atleast. Also the interface looks nothing the same. It does remind of the Yahoo weather app, however i do not use any yahoo apps nor do i have any installed.

[Kittenmittn]

Still dont think it is Peel. I have tryed to replicate it getting rid of it by using the option that was present at the top left corner of the lock screen. But reinstalling Peel etc doesn´t make it come back..been looking thru all settings and nothing.

[Marco Assini]

Selecting "mute for now" from the 3 dots on the top right, it went away. Whatever the application is the source.

I got this too and couldn't figure out where it came from. I did just get Google Assistant the day before. That's not related is it?

No that was my first guess too. It comes from Peel Smart remote. I got rid of the app and the lock screen is gone.

Hi,
Is any way to unmute after i press "mute phone for now" i try dezactivate, reactivate, update clear cache on peel. Nothing work.
Thank you.

I also got this. Hit the three dots on top right and hit Mute for now. Went away and has not returned. I have not found the app that caused it but I do believe it was an update to weather. Cannot remove weather.

[castorscout]

I remove PEEL Remote and aparently problem solved, by now

[Philip Becotte]

Yup it is peel. Roll back update and disable... all gone. Unlock mod showed me ..
