Ads on lock screen

Isa0118999 — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 21:34:08 GMT

Today I dowloaded two apps for live wallpapers, seemed cool but now I constantly have ads on my lockscreen. I deleted both apps immediately, still had the ads. Then I deleted the launcher via my pc (with the cable) but I still have the ads. I tried scanning it with the google play scanner for harmful apps but ofcourse it didnt find anything. Please help.

boot in >>> safe mode if you don't see the ads then there's a third party app that's causing this.

Yes I did that and it stopped but I cant use safe mode all the time its not very user friendly. The problem is that I deleted the responsible apps but the ads are still there..

Then there's another app

Open the app drawer > menu > sort apps > by date > uninstall one by one until the ads stop.
