Pop-up ads are one of the most frustrating aspects of using the internet. Pop-ups have the potential to distract and can even link to malware. Evidently, unless you're really into advertising, few reasons exist for allowing pop-ups on your Android device. Fortunately, blocking unwanted advertising is possible
Step 1: Remove problematic apps
⦁ On an Android phone or tablet, press and hold your device's power button.
⦁ On your screen, touch and hold Power off.
⦁ Confirm you want to reboot your device in Safe mode. When you restart, at the bottom, you can find "Safe mode."
⦁ One by one, remove recently downloaded apps.
⦁ Tip: To remember the apps that you remove so that you can add them back, make a list.
⦁ After each removal, restart your device normally. See whether removing that app solved the problem.
⦁ After you remove the app that caused the problem, you can add back the other apps that you removed.
Step 2: Protect your device from problematic apps
Important: Make sure Play Protect is on.
⦁ On your Android device, open Google Play Store
⦁ At the top right, tap your Profile picture or Initial Play Protect Settings.
⦁ Turn Scan apps with Play Protect on.
Step 3: Stop notifications from a certain website
If you're seeing annoying notifications from a website, turn off the permission:
⦁ On your Android device, open Chrome.
⦁ To change notifications, go to the site that you want to stop notifications from.
⦁ At the top left, tap Page info > Permissions.
⦁ If you don't find "Permissions," the site doesn't have notifications turned on.
⦁ Tap Notifications.
⦁ Turn Show notifications off.
