Help Hello, Every time I swipe my screen to wake my phone Google Chrome starts.

Hello,
Every time I swipe my screen to wake my phone Google Chrome starts. How do I stop this? My phone will go to sleep...locking the screen until you hit the power button and swipe up on the screen...then Google Chrome browser starts EVERY time. It is driving me bonkers.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
When you swipe up to wake the screen, maybe your finger is on the Chrome icon when you begin your swipe. This is a feature to 'quick launch' apps from the lockscreen. Try swiping sideways in the middle of the screen to avoid touching the quick launch icons.

Hope this helps.

Hello:
IT WORKS! You are a genius, Thank you very much!
