Q: IPhone SE weird link on Locked Screen

IMG_4880.PNGI have an IPhone SE and last week this weird link kept popping up when my screen was locked. I tried to look at it but it went away after I unlocked the phone. Any ideas? Do I have a virus? It stopped after about two days. This is the picture of the link. Any help is appreciated.

    If any app is playing audio, it may show up in the lock screen like that. A 15 second audio clip is likely an ad, so an app may be playing an ad and for some reason it is showing up on the lock screen. I've had this happen a few times and besides the fact that it might mess up music or other background audio I'm trying to listen to, it's not a big deal. You do not have a virus.
