Amazon Haul advert opens every time I so much as look at a thread

Every time this advert is in a thread it opens the Amazon haul page, whether i want it to or not, (and I do not), even if I just breathe at it, boom, Amazon Haul opens. Its ridiculously sensitive and very very annoying. And it seems to be the only advert I am seeing across allllllll MN threads. Every time I try to scroll past it, it opens Amazon Haul. Every single time. Arggggghhhhh!!!!!

Mumsnet, you have been told about these over sensitive Amazon add repeatedly, why can't they be fixed?!?!?

PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. iPhone 12 and it takes forEVER to read a thread. Do you make money from our clicks?

LemograssLollipop · 18/05/2026 01:55

Was doing the same on android. Amazon opening as i am scrolling past. So annoying.
I've deleted the app as a result.

purplehazeallinmybrain · 18/05/2026 01:40

Just happened 4 TIMES while reading this thread!

allthingsprettyinpink · 18/05/2026 01:40

Does for me too! Can’t scroll past it without it loading and taking me to Amazon 😤

TheIsleOfTERF · 18/05/2026 01:22

Me too

SnowFrogJelly · 18/05/2026 01:04

I’ve had this too several times tonight

giemepeace · 17/05/2026 23:22

Happening to me too, and annoying.

RosieCockle · 17/05/2026 23:16

Same for me, iOS 26.4.2, iPhone app just keeps opening bloody Amazon as I scroll up some text (not clicking on ads). It’s really really annoying.

Spidey66 · 17/05/2026 14:00

It’s still happening……

IfyouStealMySunshine · 15/05/2026 23:35

So annoying it’s so sensitive

PullTheBricksDown · 15/05/2026 10:43

Same here. Nothing is different. Really annoying. Happened during scrolling down this thread, ironically! I'm only on here because of the bad gateway problem with the site. If that ever gets resolved, I'm deleting the app.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/05/2026 10:36

Yet it doesn’t seem to do it on mumsnet Ads. Just the Amazon ones

MrsMattSantos · 15/05/2026 10:30

I’m beginning to wonder if Mumsnet gets money from the ‘clicks’….

staringatthesun · 15/05/2026 08:08

This is still happening for me too, so annoying!

MrsMattSantos · 15/05/2026 07:55

still an issue for me - seriously irritating. on an iphone 14 with the app up to date

DeltaVariant · 15/05/2026 07:08

Every few responses on a thread it’s triggered by normal scrolling - genuinely dire. iPhone 13 and totally up to date.

@JoMumsnet still seems it’s an issue for a few on iPhones

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/05/2026 20:07

I don’t interact with the ad. I’m literally scrolling down and it will click over to Amazon

Me too.

Normal scrolling should not be triggering the adverts Mumsnet! It makes page navigation difficult and is just very poor UX/UI.

JoMumsnet · 10/05/2026 12:11

Hi all,

Sorry to hear that these ads are causing problems for many of you.

We released a new version of the iOS app on Friday that should fix these ad issues, meaning they should only open if you deliberately click on them.
The app should update automatically, but if you're still experiencing problems please go to the App store and click on the Update button.

We're currently testing the new build on Android and aim to get that released as soon as possible.

Do let us know how you get on.

I’ve done the update and it’s still a chronic problem on iPhone.

HarrietSchulenberg · 13/05/2026 21:28

Same. The effect it's having is to make me averse to Amazon.

NeedToKnow101 · 13/05/2026 20:59

Same here.

bananaapplepears · 13/05/2026 20:26

Mine does this too. I thought it was just me.
