The chances are high that your device is hit by a malware or an adware. You can also uninstall any recently installed app after which the situation has aggravated. If that app is important, instead of uninstalling it, you can go to app permission and disable “Draw Over Other Apps” permission so that pop-up ads do not come full screen when you open other apps.A detailed guide is linked below:
