I am being bombarded with messages from topflownews via some on line pokie site that I never used. Somehow I have stumbled across information saying that this is malware which would explain the exorbitant amount of messages & possibly the speed in which my data is disappearing?? Can anyone help this absolute beginner?

Hello there! Try this:

Option 1: In your Settings app
  1. Open your phone's Settings app.
  2. Tap Apps & notifications. Notifications.
  3. Under "Recently sent," see apps that recently sent you notifications. You can turn off all notifications for a listed app. To pick specific categories of notifications, tap the app's name.
