Full-Screen Advertisements of Unknown Origin Appearing on My Android Phone

[scribner]

As of yesterday, I am occasionally receiving full-screen advertisements on my Motorola Moto G6. I am currently running Android version 8.0.0. I have not installed any apps recently. The advertisement that was on my screen as soon as I unlocked my phone after waking up this morning was for a casino app. Is there any way to find out where these ads are coming from? Additionally, how can I prevent them from appearing?

Welcome to the forums. Those ads are caused by an app that you downloaded. They could have started after a recent update from the Play Store or from some kind of internal trigger that the devs included in the code. This guide can help you to identify the culprit.
