Pop up ads with sound on my lock screen when my Galaxy note 8 is asleep

[Android Central Question]

I keep getting 1-2 pop up ads from the same company that will start when my phone is asleep at random times. These ads wake me up at 2am, even when my phone is on Do not disturb. I finally realized that these specific ads are the same as the "suggested posts" that pop up on my facebook. I deleted facebook from my phone and the ads stopped for about 2 days. Today, I got another one right after looking at an ad from Facebook from my computer. Does any know how to to make these stop? Is it a Facebook problem or a Samsung Problem?

sounds like an app problem to me. might be time to go back through your most recent app installs. remove one by one until the issue stops and then re-add the ones that weren't the problem.

I had the same problem. There's a very easy fix for it. Open up your settings and open up your app list. Scroll to the bottom of the list and you'll see an app that doesn't have an icon. It's a piece of adware that probly got installed when one of those dumb Amazon card pop up ads showed up on your phone. Simply delete it and all of that horse hockey will disappear. Hope this helps

Someone had recommended AdGuard and it's one of the best purchases I've made for Android and PCs.

I would call even say should be considered an essential quietly doing its job in the background, blocking annoying ads in my browser and app (Samsung Galaxy App program removing the irritating and loud ads playing) as well as on my PCs browsing experience (no more slow downs and bogging down my browser).
