Help Reoccurring popup notification. uninstalled:package

Hello you guys,

So recently my android phone has been showing these popup notifications way too much, something about uninstallation that goes something like this:

Uninstalled: package:tv.peel.app

I thought this occurs when an app is updated, however this keeps appearing with different app names around 5 times each day and for some reason even more so when playing a full screen video.

Please help me solve this i searched everywhere! Can i hide those messages if those are system errors? or if somehow the phone got infected?

Thank you!
 
Are these pop-ups or standard notifications? If the former, then I'd suspect it's an app spoofing you to install some sort of fake security nonsense. If it's the latter, pull down the notification and long-press the notice. It will tell you which app is generating it.

Here is a screenshot of the popup

Hmm, that's odd. I'd say that Peel Remote needed to uninstall a previous version and completely replace it with a new one, but if it keeps happening it might be that Peel is having a hard time installing the new one, or, if you have an anti virus app, it might flag peel as malicious and keep uninstalling it. Frankly, Peel is pretty problematic to begin with, especially with ads and things. I'd look for an alternative remote and uninstall it completely.
 
The problem isn't with peel, as i said this notification keeps happening but with different apps, netflix, whatsapp, anything basically!
 
I am assuming that the apps really aren't uninstalled?

That doesn't look like either a play store notification or a Samsung notification. Did you install any apps right before this started happening?
 
Yeah they are installed and are functioning normally. I haven't installed a new app as far as i remember, i actually have fairly few apps that are well known and safe from the app store. I went ahead and installed malwarebytes but nothing came up in the scan too
