It's a simple something bros.

Check for the last website you allowed push notifications.. (this should likely be the problem)

Secondly check for the last APK you Installed on your phone.

You can use this method below to know which of the apps that is causing the pop up in step two I gave you

it's google ads. google ads can show on any app, once ur data is on. U are getting that particular ads because u are a lover of games.

Re: Help! This Gorilla Shows Everywhere On My Phone!!! by jidesp(m): 5:21pm On Sep 27, 2020
The reason why you have that ad showing on your screen is because you probably downloaded an untrusted app from the internet and not from app store. Probably a game cheat. I have experienced it as well.

I downloaded a subway surf game that has been doctored to have unlimited coins and keys. At random. I started seeing ads on my screen..

The solution is to just delete the app you download online that isnt from app store

Guys serious nw.... Anyway i am using Nova launcher I don't use any launcher apart from Nova... But there is the strange alarm clock app I always see among downloaded apps bt I can't remember the time I enter Google play store and download alarm clock... Or maybe it is the unknown app that is download those junks undecided undecided undecided

It has nothing to do with launcher all these people calling tech guru but no Sabi shit...it's clearly either an app or virus...if you like change launcher from now till thy kingdom come nothing will happen cos same thing happened to my brothers phone

Install no root firewall. Since you already have root access, find a good firewall and block those apps u don't want to gain access to ur network

Go flash the phone. I am sure you visited some weird sites and they dashed you this gorilla and it could be a virus

Re: Help! This Gorilla Shows Everywhere On My Phone!!! by pafo(m): 7:14pm On Sep 27, 2020
My brother, there is absolutely nothing you can do to fix this. It happened on my infinix and despite formatting the phone like a million times, it never solved the problem. I gave it out eventually and bought an LG V30. Its been bliss ever since. I'm sure your phone is one of those chinco brands.
Re: Help! This Gorilla Shows Everywhere On My Phone!!! by rowosky(m): 7:14pm On Sep 27, 2020
Did you root your phone recently.
I saw kingoroot on your Installed Apps.
Rooting apps have the ability to display ads anywhere on your phone.
The best you can do is to unroot it.
Which would be hard. Formatting won't solve it.

It's an app you installed in the phone that is bringing up the adverts. Try and locate the app and uninstall it and the problem will be solved.
