Wishing i hadn't updated,but nevermind.On first usage when i swipe screen to get to homepage an advert appears instead,brilliant,i now have to swipe in the opposite direction i have been doing for a year,oh joy!!
Then the next fun feature of the update is i can't physically type in anything like your username,password etc into boxes???wtf?
But Google search boxes i can still use?,lockdown fun and games.

Thats unlikely to be due to the Android update otherwise everyone would have it.
Its more likely bloatware or a dubious app on your phone.
I've had andoid since the beginning and never had an advert on the lock/home screen.
What phone, android version and network provider?

What handset? It wont be Android itself sounds like either bloatware of dodgy apps.

Google supply handset manufacturers with Android and they change them how they want, The version of mums Wileyfox for example was awful full of rubbish.

I've spoken to people who now can't type anything when replying to texts??
It's a galaxy a70,Android version 10 and i'm with Tesco mobile.
In order to get onto my homescreen i used to swipe screen to the left,then put in screen lock shape then onto homescreen.
Now when i swipe left i get an ad for wallpapers i can download??I now haveto swipe right and i avoid this ad??
This is ad that appears.

Looks like its not an advert its in fact Samsung version of Android which hasn't been set up yet, its a tip to get you to use a wallpaper.

I've got the same phone and also got the v10 update last week.

I set a dynamic wallpaper up and haven't seen it since.

^^WHS^^.
Using 10 on a galaxy S5e with no issues. It's nice but it needs a bit of setting up.
