New Lock Screen (No ads)

AC Question

For the last 2 weeks, I haven't had any new downloads, but a new lock screen appears when I plug in and unplug my phone.

The charging meter is in the top left, a menu selection top right with only one option: mute, and it says things center screen like "Good morning" "Good Night" etc.

The background is fantastic photography, honestly. I'm just curious as to how it got onto my phone.

I need to "slide to unlock" and that leads me to my normal lock screen, of which I have locked via fingerprint.

I searched the questions here, but found that most lock screen issues like these came with unwanted ads. Mine doesn't have ads. It's rather pleasant, but all the same I'm rather confused as to what's initiated the change.

Any thoughts?
 
I am having the exact same problem with my Samsung 6. Was going to ask, then came across your question. The last thing I downloaded was the Walmart Check In app. The new lock screen pictures change like it's a screensaver of some type. Thanks for any help!
 
I also started this problem last night around midnight.
Can we compare setups either here or privately?
I have a Verizon with Samsung Note 4, running Android V6.0.1 and security patch level Feb 1, 2017.
The following 7 apps have updated via Google Play on my phone in the past 24 hours:
cPro Craigslist Mobile Client
Youtube
Pocket Casts
Spotify Music
GasBuddy
Google+
Minecraft: Pocket Edition

Thanks, Joel
 
This appears to be the Samsung's pre-installed app "Peel Remote".

It seems to be a "planned thing" as Peel Remote has settings to mute notifies on the app for 30 days (and $0.99 a month to update past ads).

Removing the last update to Peel Remote immediately stops the extra screen (but not a good long term solution).

So long term either

1) Uninstall / disable Peel Remote

2) Come up with a way you like to disable this "new feature" of Peel Remote

Found it at the following link.

I'm T-Mobile, Samsung 6. V6.0.1, security patch January 1, 2017. I downloaded the Walmart Check In program Sunday. The only update I'm remembering is Zedge.
Thanks!
