This app is the best, but it does the loaning sign try to fix it thanks you
★☆☆☆☆ Tiffany Shantell · Oct 11, 2022
All you have to do is go to app info and disable the app also go to permissions and switch it to not over all apps, and it won't pop up there's no way to uninstall, but that's the way to disable it and keep it off the lock screen
