Spamming Issue with android device

[Platinum Pete]

Phone is an samsung S21.

Not sure what has happened but recently after unlocking the phone, it either doesn't allow you to do anything until you press the home button, or it opens a new tab in chrome for some random website as soon as you press to open any app.

So far I have tried clearing cache and data in Google and chrome apps But that hasn't worked.

Does anyone have any other ideas what to try before I reset the phone?

Thanks

Pete

Righto, will do. Do you know what might have caused it?

Thanks, on earlier advice i ended up resetting the phone. No new apps were installed prior to the issue but I guess it could gave happened through an updated one?

Anyway issue has gone for now, thanks for the advise
