Help ads on my homescreen

[TheChelsea]

I keep getting these ads on my homescreen (games and dating ads) almost everytime I open my phone or at random times when I'm using apps! what can I do to make them stop popping up all the time?

Hello there, and welcome to Android Forums!

One of the 3rd party apps that you've installed is causing that. You'll need to think back and remember what app you installed around the time you began seeing the ads. Process of elimination should also help you locate the bad app.

Generally it is recommended to take a few moments to read the comments for an app before you install it. Nine times out of ten if there's intrusive ads others will be screaming about it.

Here's a few threads to read that should offer up more knowledge about these ads along with learning more about Android permissions;
