Dodgy advert

I'm on the android app and I keep getting this advert, which is obviously for a sex chat app/phone line. It doesn't offend me per se, but it's not really appropriate for a woman's forum imo.

Hi OP

Thanks for flagging this! If it happens again, please could you click on the advert and paste the URL to us so that we can take a closer look?

I am getting dodgy ads in the app too, not a chance in hell I'm clicking the link, it was for "private calls".

If you see these again, please could you take screenshots of them? Also, it would be good if you could let us know if it's the IOS or android app.

@LilyMumsnet yes sure, only saw it once today, I am on my iPhone

HebeMumsnet · 20/12/2023 10:58

Thanks @qpdlurgak. We'll keep hunting for it. If anyone is able to give us a url for the ad, or screenshots with the url of the thread you were on when it appeared, that will help us track it down quicker. We'll keep an eye on this thread for any further info.

qpdlurgak · 20/12/2023 11:05

Sure. I've not seen it since, will make sure I take more details if I see again!

HebeMumsnet · 20/12/2023 11:13

Quick update. We think we've found it. It should be blocked from appearing now but do let us know if you see it pop up again. Thanks!

qpdlurgak · 20/12/2023 11:13

Thank you Smile
