Ads on iPhone

For a few days I have been getting ads covering part of my thread. I can’t close them. Sometimes one, sometimes two. Usually covering the OP.
Using safari on iPhone.
What can I do to get around this please?

Nottheshrinkingcapgrandpa · 23/11/2018 18:57

Same here. It’s making threads unreadable as I can’t see the original posts!

TarquinGyrfalcon · 24/11/2018 09:28

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/11/2018 23:26

This is driving me potty.

Big chunks of original posts covered.
Cant close adverts you click on dont show again but next thread there they are.

In scotland on samsung phone, samsung internet or google makes no odds they are google adverts.

@angiemumsnet please please please can this be sorted out. It is driving me absolutely crackers!!!

It’s happening right now.

LouMumsnet · 01/12/2018 16:05

Afternoon, everyone. We're so sorry this is still an issue. We're going to flag it with our tech team again and will have an update in due course.

Once again, sorry this is such a PITA for you all.

Willow2017 · 11/12/2018 09:48

Any updates?
The ads are still there its really annoying not being able to read half a post as its covered. Even when you click.on x to close the block still stays there.

This issue is with the Google support team at the moment and they are asking if you could please grab a click address for us, if you could please disconnect from any internet or cellular service (airplane mode), then click or tap the ad. The ad will attempt to open in a browser window, but because there's no service it will not load. However, the click string will be exposed in the URL.
Can you please send me that URL.

Is there any update on this please? Still happening and up to 3 ads on each thread now!

Wonkypalmtree · 23/01/2019 17:03

Still happening

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/01/2019 22:39

I’ve swapped to mn on Firefox and all is fine

No ads - typing normal and not slow /catching up

Therefore the problem must be safari and iPhones

ForOldLandsEye · 25/01/2019 10:36

I just came on to let you know about this but I see others have the same problem. My ads seem to be betting ads (spin the wheel/roulette type betting). I've noticed it over the last few days. The loading page looks different too. I have a shortcut on my iPhone (7+) desktop which now seems to load a front page which then goes straight to adverts which never used to happen (it used to go straight to Talk).
