Music playing via ads in app

I’ve updated to the new app and today in a thread music started playing. My phone was on silent. It stopped when I came out the app so it was definitely that. I believe it was linked to an ad?

Really annoying.

I’ve not had an ad blocker but given the new ban on using them, MN really need to look at what ads they are allowing.

Same here - I’ve no issues at all with the app or ads but there’s an ad playing music despite my phone being on silent which is a bridge too far……

Afternoon, @SquishyGloopyBum and @Bigroy. Could you send us links to any threads you've had this on so far? We should be able to track down which ad it is that way. Thank you!

Also -these kinds of ads are an accessibility nightmare. I wear hearing aids and they cause my hearing aids to swap in to connecting to my phone vs the real world.

Thanks for the thread urls, everyone. Can anyone tell which ad it is that's playing the music here? If so, if you can share a screenshot of the ad that seems to be causing the music to play that would be great, too. And if you'd feel comfortable getting the click through URL and sharing that with us too that would also be really helpful. Thanks!

It’s mainly the Jet2Holidays adverts with the music.
