I have a oneplus 3T and I happened to get a malware on it. It is the Obgata.xyz and lunchaka. The moment I open my phone it pops up automatically on chrome. I tried this method and also the method to put the phone in safe mode and they both didn’t work. I don’t know what app is causing this problem. I would like a bit of help on this problem. Thank you
