How to Stop Pop-Up Ads on Android and iOS

Pop-up ads on Android and iPhones can interrupt browsing and may sometimes indicate unwanted notifications or suspicious apps. You can reduce them by changing browser settings and reviewing app permissions.

• Android Chrome: Block pop-ups and redirects through Chrome's Site settings.
• Website alerts: Disable notifications from websites you do not recognise or trust.
• Suspicious apps: Remove recently installed or unfamiliar apps that may display unwanted ads.
• Play Protect: Run a security scan through Google Play Store to identify harmful applications.
• iPhone Safari: Enable the Block Pop-ups option through Safari settings.
• Privacy settings: Review advertising and notification settings to reduce unwanted advertisements.

You can also buy a new smartphone on Easy EMIs at over 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000 cities, including Reliance Digital, Croma, and Vijay Sales.

Pop-up ads can appear for several reasons. A website may have permission to send promotional notifications, while browser settings may allow pop-ups or redirects from certain websites. Some free third-party apps may display advertisements outside their main interface. Suspicious or unwanted software can also generate intrusive advertisements on your device. In some cases, advertisements are simply part of an app or website's ad-supported service. You may also have accidentally allowed notifications or other permissions without realising it. Identifying where the advertisements appear can help determine the cause. Check recently installed apps, browser permissions and website notifications before changing other device settings.

You can buy a smartphone through Easy EMIs when your preferred model is eligible and available at a partner store, making it simple to upgrade without paying the full amount upfront. Here is what the process looks like.

• Visit more than 1.5 lakh partner stores across 4,000+ cities, including Jaipur, Lucknow, Kochi, and Bhopal
• Choose your preferred model and use the Bajaj Finance Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan
• Convert the purchase cost into Easy EMIs that suit your monthly budget

Pro tip: Zero down payment is available on select models, so ask the store executive if your chosen musical instrument qualifies before you check out.

You can reduce unwanted pop-up ads on Android by changing browser settings, disabling website notifications and removing suspicious applications. The exact options may vary by device and Android version.

• Block pop-ups: Open Chrome, select Settings, choose Site settings, select Pop-ups and redirects, then block them.
• Disable notifications: Open Chrome, select Settings, choose Site settings, select Notifications, then remove unwanted website permissions.
• Remove suspicious apps: Uninstall recently installed or unfamiliar applications that display intrusive advertisements.
• Scan your phone: Open Google Play Store, select your profile icon, choose Play Protect, then scan your device.
• Review permissions: Open Settings, select Apps, choose unfamiliar applications and review their notification permissions.
• Update Android: Open Settings, select System or Software update, then install available updates.

These steps can reduce unwanted advertisements and help identify applications or websites responsible for persistent pop-ups.

You can stop pop-up ads from specific websites by removing their notification permissions and blocking pop-ups through your browser settings.

• Chrome: Open Chrome, select Settings, choose Site settings, then review Pop-ups and redirects.
• Remove notifications: Open Chrome notification settings and disable alerts from unwanted websites.
• Safari: Open Settings, select Apps, choose Safari, then enable Block Pop-ups.
• Clear data: Clear browser history and website data to remove unwanted site permissions.
• Avoid suspicious sites: Do not allow notifications when unfamiliar websites request permission.

These steps can prevent websites from repeatedly sending unwanted advertisements or redirecting you to promotional pages.

Some third-party applications can display advertisements outside their normal interface. Removing unfamiliar or recently installed apps can help identify and stop the source.

• Check recent apps: Review applications installed shortly before the pop-ups started.
• Uninstall suspicious apps: Remove unfamiliar applications that you do not need or recognise.
• Check permissions: Review notification and other permissions granted to recently installed applications.
• Use Play Protect: Run a security scan through Google Play Store on Android devices.
• Restart your phone: Restart the device after removing a suspicious application.

If advertisements continue after removing an app, check other recently installed applications to identify the remaining source.

You can reduce future pop-ups by limiting website permissions, installing applications carefully and keeping your phone's software updated.

Following these precautions can reduce unwanted advertisements and notifications. They can also help protect your device from potentially harmful applications and suspicious websites.
