Pop Up Ads

[patrickpenner]

Hello,
Is there a way to tell what popup ads are accociated to apps on your Android phone?

I am trying to remove ads that are popping up right after screen is unlocked.

Thank you

You should be able to hit the apps list button and read the name.

I have that issue too, but it's with normal apps like calculator or chrome. Whatever is causing it disguises itself as a random app like calculator or chrome

This seems to be working. I'm not sure because I'm in school, but I haven't seen any since I put it in safe mode.

I did uninstall all recent apps about 10 minutes after the problem started, and I cleared my chrome history and cookies for the past week, but that didn't work. I'll try it again, though.
