Why do I have 2 lock screens

[Android Central Question]

When I turn on my phone it gives me my normal lock screen but then it glitches to a second lock screen that shows the date, time and battery, and above it, it gives me ads. I can just press the back button and it goes away, but when I turn my phone off then back on again, it comes back.

You installed an app or an app update that brought a "passenger" along in the form of that additional screen. Have you installed or updated anything recently?

Yes I tried to download a game but instead the download was a blank picture and it had no title and I couldn't open it, I deleted it, but after I read your answer I remembered it asked for a permission to appear on top, I went to settings and it was still on, but now I'm wondering, why is the download still there after I deleted it?

Downloaded it from where?

From this website called PSP Roms I wanted to download a star wars game, I've downloaded a game from there before and it worked perfectly, but this download didn't work

I also deleted a lot of recent files that day, my files folder is empty of downloads and apps and documents and anything that had to do with what I downloaded, but the app is still here

That's probably your answer. You most likely downloaded some adware (and possibly malware) along with the game. Get rid of that now.

If you're downloading "free" games that are normally supposed to be paid, keep in mind that's piracy, which we don't allow discussions about.

I already deleted it and the game is free at least for my ps vita it's free, but I already deleted the game or file and it's still on my phone

While I was searching around app permissions in my settings, I found a white blank file, I don't know if it's the right file but it says as the title com.anaconda.brave
I don't know what that is.

Oh, I think I fixed it, I went to my settings, searched up apps, and it showed me all my apps, and the first one there was the blank one, I uninstalled it. Yea and it WAS called com.anaconda.brave but I still don't know what it is, it doesn't matter though

Sounds like it's related to the Brave browser. Do you have that installed?

So, someone ported the game from the Vita to Android and injected ads/malware.

There's an app called PPSSPP it's an emulator or something, you can play psp games on your phone, star wars was the only game or file that had ads

No I don't have anything like that installed
