Random ad pop up

[bombsterpatel]

When I unlock my phone, on some occasions there is an ad there, other times the ad pops up randomly when I'm using it. I've used 'hidden apps detector', 'malware bytes' etc, however no luck. Also, when I click on the top left (adchoices) it take me to m.facebook.com.

How do I prevent this from happening?

That truly sucks. That is not the way your phone is supposed to work.

It's not a Fire Phone is it? Those are supposed to kind of work like that.

Didn't sell well.

I clicked on the ad choices button on the top left and it took me to this page.

I suggest uninstalling the Facebook app, and use m.facebook.com from your browser.

Alternatively, the free NoRoot Firewall app from the playstore can deny data and/or wifi accesses on a site-by-site or IP address basis.

Check it out. It's a little gem.

I don't use Facebook as it is, I uninstalled the app, and checked my browser to log out. Currently downloading noroot firewall

I have this issue too. They pop up randomly all the time. If I hit the recent apps button at the bottom, it says its a random app like Google or calculator or something that's never given me any issues before.
