Be alert if ads suddenly start appearing on your phone; spot the issue using these 5 methods..

If advertisements suddenly start appearing repeatedly on your phone's screen, ignoring them could prove problematic. This is especially true if full-screen ads appear while using the phone, on the home screen, or even without opening any app. This could be caused by a suspicious app, browser notifications, or adware. In such cases, it is essential to check the apps and settings on your mobile.

**Ads appearing without opening an app**
If full-screen ads suddenly appear on your mobile screen without you having opened any app, it could indicate the presence of a suspicious app. Sometimes, such issues arise after installing certain apps. If you have recently downloaded and installed a new app, delete it and restart your phone.

**Repeated ads in notifications**
Some websites and apps repeatedly send ads via notifications. If you constantly see unfamiliar offers or ads in your mobile's notification panel, long-press the notification to identify which app is sending it. Then, turn off notifications for that specific app.

**Ads on the phone's home screen**
If ads are repeatedly appearing on your phone's home screen, check for suspicious apps or third-party launchers. Go to your mobile settings and review recently installed apps. Uninstall any app that seems suspicious.

**Pages opening automatically**
If your phone's browser opens on its own or redirects you to unfamiliar websites, carefully check the browser's site settings and notification permissions. Immediately revoke permissions for unknown websites and clear your browsing data. Do not click on any suspicious pop-ups.

**How ​​to get rid of ads?**
First, remove any suspicious apps that were recently installed.
Go to the Google Play Store and run a scan using Play Protect. Update the phone's software.
Do not download APK files from any unknown websites.
Do not grant unnecessary permissions to suspicious apps.
