Ads between screens

[Mptrh336]

For some reason my pixel 2 XL has started showing me ads at random times. Could this be an app? I havent installed anything new lately, and they seem to all be from the play store. I'll try to catch a screenshot the next time one pops up and post it. Really annoying.

Almost certainly an app.

Some developers have a habit of injecting new stuff into existing apps. For example, many of us used to be fans of ES File Explorer until they started going crazy sneaking in "new" but very unwanted features and obnoxious ads.
