On my Alcatel T'pop (4010x), why do I get a constant unexpected shortcut pop up?

Alcatel T'pop (4010x) constant unexpected shortcut pop up

This is quite annoying as sometimes I'm unexpectedly existing apps that I'm currently using I've had the phone for about 2 years now and I'm wondering if this is a sign that maybe Its time for a new phone but I would prefer not to unless this is a permanent problem

Welcome to Android Central! What do you mean by a shortcut? Do you mean that you get unwanted app shortcut icons appear on your homescreen?

No not App shortcut icons on my homescreen but the most recent apps used pop up screen. Does that better explain?
