Pop ups from threads

[RoseDeWittBukater]

I keep getting diverted from threads I select to read in 'active conversations' to some bloody app thing it tries to make me download. It only happens on my phone, only some threads and only mumsnet. It's really beginning to irritate me, why is it happening? Is anyone else getting this?

Hi Rose

Can you let us know which phone you're using, and if you're using the mobile site or the app?

It would also be really helpful if you could grab a screenshot of the thing you're being asked to download.

We'll flag this to our Tech team as soon as we have a few more details.

In the meantime, we're really sorry for the faff!

Next time it directs me I'll get a screenshot. I'm using an iPhone.

[DawnMumsnet]

Thanks Rose. And are you using the app or the mobile site?

If you can't grab a screenshot, just a name would do, anything that could point our Ads team in the right direction would help.

Mobile site :)

[RoseDeWittBukater]

Hopefully this will work. It was just the first thread I clicked on in active.

I keep getting them too. Asking me to allow them take money from me.
On a Samsung via Google.

The pop ups are at the bottom where threads I am on or active are so are situated.

Yes, I get randomly taken to the App Store partway through a thread when I'm not even touching my phone. On mobile site in iphone6.

Me too, though I think only in AIBU. It's really annoying. I'm on the mobile site and iPhone6.

Happening to me too on safari (iPhone 6). It diverts to Sky betting site or Ladbrokes and then then immediately to the App Store.

[AgentProvocateur]

Yes, Skybet here too.

Oh my days this is driving me crazy - I don't want to be selected for a free fricking app 😡 iOS 9 on iPhone 6

[HarlettOScara]

Just happened to me again. Here's the page it diverted to before opening the App Store

[AgentProvocateur]

PLEASE MAKE THIS STOP! I keep getting reiterated to betting apps on the App Store. It's definitely a MN problem. It doesn't happen on any other site, I've never googled anything gambling-related, and no one else accesses my phone.

[RoseDeWittBukater]

Oh the irony of coming to read the next reply and it happening again.

Hi all - we'll send this over to our Tech team so they can take a closer look at what's causing this. Many thanks for all the posts.
