Malware on Samsung android phone

[dbee78]

Hi
Lately I've been getting spam messages in my planner on the phone. I'm using the original native s planner on the Samsung android phone.
I get events in my planner popping up occasionally asking me to pick up my apple/Samsung free phone locally. I've deleted the messages twice in the last 3 weeks.
If I understand correctly this doesn't necessarily mean there's malware on the phone. As some applications/sites eg gmail can add events to the planner automatically.
I can't find any malware in the applications folder.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Not malware, just spam getting auto-added through GMail. Happened to me, and I thought the same thing as you. Doing the steps listed in this article fixed it, however:

I'm having the same problem and this didn't work. Any other advice?
Thanks!
