Reminds me of old Samsung phone I had. It had IR transmitter and some app to control it as TV remote.

But it wasn't Samsung's app, nor (I assume) one owned by them. Still installed as system app so unable to uninstall tho.

So one day the company decided to monetize on that and just started to display ads on lockscreen. No way to remove it either. So I rooted that POS and never bought any Samsung shit again...
