Pop up ads

[Nomekop]

For the last few days, I've been getting random full screen ads on my phone.

They're just like normal game ads, but I'm not using a game, or one that does that. It'll happen as I'm browsing YouTube or Google, too, even if that's the only app open.

But if I go down to the recent apps button when one pops up, I think whatever causes them picks a random app from my phone and says that caused it.

None of the apps it mentions have ever caused any issues before the last few days. They're all stuff like calculator, or chrome.

When I do that though, it dissapears after half a second then goes to my home screen, closing the app on the way.

Is there a way to stop this, or figure out what's causing it at least?

Here are some examples:

I did this with all recent apps shortly after the problem started, but not in safe mode. Safe mode seems to work, but I haven't had enough time to make sure completely.

I did it again and turned off safe mode about 5 minutes ago, and I haven't seen any yet. I'll keep you updated when I get home.

Edit: this worked, thank you!
