    If this just started, look over apps to see what you installed recently.

    Open Settings, Notifications. Find any app with high recent notification activity that you do not recognize. Disable notifications on that app or uninstall the app entirely.

    Are you able to list what apps you have installed.

    And what type of phone do you have.

    Is it a Android phone or Iphone.
