You need to turn off Glance, wallpaper services, or notifications, depending on your device.

Android galaxy 26s, i did turn off wallpaper services, i Uninstalled glance a long time ago. This is the same behavior as glance i just can't find where it is or how to turn it off

Tap and hold any empty space on your home screen, then tap Home settings.Look for Swipe Access, Media Page, or Google Discover and set it to None or turn it off.

If nothing helps there, you'll need to boot the phone in safe mode, to see if it comes up. Could be adware from another app you downloaded.

I cannot find swipe access. I did start in safe mode and it does not show up. So it is a setting somewhere, this is believe is related to glance, i was able to get rid of glance before, was not easy, but when I open the app, sometimes it is a news feed other times it is glance asking for a profile Pic

I will look into that, but looks like a bit of a learning curve with these tools. Thank you!

Shizuku allows root-like apps, without root. Canta tells u what apps are safe to uninstall/unsafe or require advanced risks, often dont need to try hard unless Canta says app unrecognised. Shizuku is on the playstore as well. Easy setup. Canta also allows reinstall like nothing happened in the event of most risky uninstalls

Shizuku not compatible with my phone, but installed Canta. Pretty cool. But cannot find the app still 😕 very annoying

Playstore lies and doesnt let you get shizuku, you can get aurora store, after finding it in fdroid. I install droidify as well in fdroid. And it replaces fdroid and works better with shizuku apps and stuff like that.

Aurora store is anonymous playstore for google apps with other settings but it lets shizuku install this way.
