Today I noticed a strange new "red thing" in the upper left part of my screen, as shown in Screenshot 1. It looked particularly weird because it seems to include a sound-related icon, but I wasn't hearing anything (& I hadn't selected any media to be playing, either).
So I tapped on that "red thing", then saw the "grey item" shown in Screenshot 2. This still made no sense to me, so I tapped on the "Pause" button inside that "grey item". The button itself didn't seem to do anything or change & I still wasn't hearing anything, so I tapped on a different location in that "grey thing" & then was taken to a completely blank browser screen, as shown in Screenshot 3.
I left for a bit &, when I returned, I noticed a maroon item at the bottom of my phone's lockscreen (which I didn't recall having seen previously), as indicated by the arrow I've included on Screenshot 4.
What ARE these red, grey, & maroon items, why are they there, and what can (or should) I do about them?
FWIW (& as reflected at the top of that "grey item" in Screenshot 2), I wear Signia Hearing Aids, which include some features controlled via Bluetooth using an installed Signia App. However, the Signia App cannot be used either to select or Pause/Play ANY media, so these red, grey, & maroon "things" must be related to something else. And, as noted above, I'm not hearing anything "streaming" into my hearing aids (just the regular ambient room noise), so I don't understand that "Dana's hearing aids" reference at all.
Additionally (looking at the other text in that "grey item" & on the "maroon item"), I have never heard of (or about) either "3dvf[dot]com" or "3DVF", nor did I select whatever is named there as beginning with "11 Years Ago, . . ."
(I also looked, but didn't find, any App on my phone by that name.)
What IS all this stuff & what can/should I do about it?
Galaxy S22 Ultra: Android 15 & One UI 7.0.
Thanks
