When I routinely turn my phone on I have started seeing unwanted pro videos playing on my home screen.
They seem to be teasers that will end up asking me for something.
iPhone 16 Plus, iOS 18

The first thing I'd try is a Forced Restart --> Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
Can you explain what you mean by a "pro video?" What app is playing these videos? Based on what you're describing, it sounds as if you're inadvertently tapping a video app when you wake your phone.
Can you describe, step by step, what you're doing? Are you using FaceID? Or the passcode?
