Ad on lock screen/home screen

This just started popping up about a day ago. How do I get rid of it?

This looks really bad. It's probably due to an app you recently downloaded or some kind of installer malware that ran itself. Could you check your app drawer for any apps that you don't recognize? You can also go to Settings > Apps and view running apps.

Welcome to the forums! Different apps could be at the origin of this screen. ES File Explorer is just one of them. Take a look at this thread.

es file explorer or other apps ads

It's a new 'feature' in ES File Explorer. Either uninstall it like loads of others have or swipe in from the left and you'll find Charging Boost at the bottom. Switch it off.

My wife's phone did this exact thing. Pinpointed it to photo editor pro. Check the reviews in the app store. A bunch of people are complaining of this same issue. From an update from 5/18.
