Samsung S6 Swipe to Unlock - how to remove new lock screen which appears with USB?

A

AC Question

As of today a new lock screen has appeared on my S6 when I plug in a USB cable or unplug it. The lock screen has the battery indicator at the top left, the date/time in the top middle and three vertical dots at the top right
It says stuff such as "good night" and keeps changing the background picture. In the bottom left there is the local weather and under this is red writing saying "slide to unlock". I slide to the right to unlock it. This new lock screen is exceptionally annoying and I haven't downloaded any new apps recently. What is this and how do I remove it?

When I go to settings->Lock screen and privacy the screen lock type is none.

SM-G920F Android 6.0.1

Running Lookout with no alerts flagged.

many thanks

That's the one. Anyone else? I had swipe to lock on (now taken it off) and I have this as well. Overkill. Anyone know how to remove it? I can't seem to tie it to any recent updates or Samsung downloads.

thanks
