Download "airpush detector" off Play and run that - see what it finds.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

That's like that blinkfeed setting on HTC sense home, puts ads on lock screen.
Do you have an app that saves battery etc

Tbh tho, it's probably that lock screen app itself, looks like one of those "free" ones...

Nothing is free.

Because you have given an app permission to use the notifications in lock screen.
