I have hardly been able to use my phone all day because this ad keeps popping up. Does anyone know how to get rid of it. I have downloaded 2 ad blockers to no avail.

I expect you have turned your phone off then on again?

Ok so I reckon it could work on any. But what works for me, is go into your settings. Switch to airplane mode.
Go to clear all data, not sure where yours would be. Switch back out of airplane mode
If you google it, it might be different or more specific for your phone

Switch back out of airplane mode If you google it, it might be different or more specific for your phone Airplane mode only turns off wi-fi nothing else ffiscool. The problem seems to have stopped just now, but it's been doing it for 7 hours, driving me insane. Just want to know how to fix it if it happens again tonight.

I had a problem with my iPad last week while we were away. O2 couldn’t help, but they put a guru on to talk to me, and he told me to turn airplane mode on then off again and it fixed the problem......

That’s true, but clearing your web history that way, stops links which are attached to your history, from sending those pop ups

I tried that too ffiscool, under SETTINGS, I don't have SITE SETTINGS. I've googled it, I've tried videos from YouTube, nothing worked today. If it happens again it's going out the window 🤣🤣

Airplane mode turns off apps as well. What about turning off background app refresh in your settings, I do this on all my apps except google photos.
