Clean your lens before taking the photo. For mobile phones with fingerprints, use a spectacle cleaner liquid.

You can do it but it will take a lot of work. He’s content aware fill. Select the area with the lasso and then choose content aware fill. But only do small spots at a time

You might actually want to give AI a try. Otherwise it's a lot of cloning and stamping (at least that's how I'd do it). This is a cellphone shot with a dirty/smeared lens?

Photoshop’s Lightroom can use machine learning to remove reflections so it might work on glare.
If you have this in RAW format, this is how

It is a glass protector over a cell phone lens. Like glass stick over the Google pixel lens array

Many said that it's about cleaning the lens but not really. It's the light passing through many later of glass, not always related to "dirty" lens - which is the case here, I believe, as the rays are parallel to each other and with the same angles. Had many such ones with my D750 and 2.8/16-28 combo which I keep damn clean all the time.
No easy way out of this but I would, if I had to, clean little bits each time "copy-pasting" from neighboring areas. Worth all the hassle, though? Not for me - and good luck if for you!

No easy way to do this that I can see. Not worth it.
Remember to clean the lens next time!
