When scrolling I keep getting Amazon opening up, no actual Amazon on the threads to click

Out of nowhere just get a. Amazon page taken over, which I have to close.
There's no ad or link I'm accidentally clicking in sight.
Anyone else. Just the last couple of days.

This morning I'm getting amazon pop ups when there isn't even any ads

Dontknowwhattobelieve2 · 10/05/2026 12:56

Had it twice just scrolling through this thread.

Tarkan · 11/05/2026 02:37

I’m getting it constantly too. On iPhone and checked the App Store and my app is up to date. Some threads it’s happening multiple times making them impossible to read because it’s so frustrating.

BeckyAMumsnet · 11/05/2026 15:22

Thanks, everyone. Appreciate this is infuriating. We’re investigating now.

Desperatelydoomscrolling · 12/05/2026 11:25

I have it slightly less today but I've still had it open 3/4 times in the last half hour I've been browsing. I already use Amazon loads, so it won't help them, more make them get less sales from me as I'm starting to get irrationally annoyed when I see their webpage now 😂 Will check to see if I need to update the app again.

PlattyCat · 12/05/2026 18:58

Still as bad as ever for me. I've had five pop during the last 10 minutes

jmh740 · 12/05/2026 19:04

Me too

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 12/05/2026 19:49

Glad it's not just me. So irritating.

Pernicketywishes · 12/05/2026 19:57

Me too. I’m on an iPhone.

minerva7 · 12/05/2026 20:41

And me. iPhone.

KellyMumsnet · 13/05/2026 10:07

Morning, everyone. Sorry to hear this is still happening. Could we ask anyone experiencing this issue to check the exact version of the app you are using please? You can check this by opening the app and then opening the profile menu in the top right hand corner of the screen. You should then be able to see the version number at the bottom of the menu. If you could pop that here in the thread that might just help us work out what's going on. Thanks! Flowers

RumNotRun · 13/05/2026 11:44

I'm so glad I have seen this. I thought I was being fat fingered! @KellyMumsnet my app is 45.3.5 I have checked for updates but there are none available

JustanAssistant · 13/05/2026 12:40

I’m also getting it - app 45.3.5 on iPhone. V frustrating!

Tarkan · 13/05/2026 12:57

45.3.5 here too. It’s literally just happened again while reading a different thread.

HoldMyWine · 13/05/2026 14:48

Still happening. Still annoying.

HoldMyWine · 13/05/2026 14:48

I’m also on 45.3.5

Sunshineandgrapefruit · 13/05/2026 15:44

45.3.5 Android

1984Winston · 13/05/2026 16:04

Thought this was just me, also android

Blondeshavemorefun · 13/05/2026 16:13

Still doing it for me. I replied on the thread on site stuff

iPhone and using app

BeckyAMumsnet · 13/05/2026 17:46

Hi all,

A quick update on the issue some users have reported with Amazon ads opening unexpectedly in the iOS and Android apps.

We’ve now been able to recreate the issue, which means we can see what’s happening rather than trying to work from your reports alone. We're now working on a fix. From what we’ve seen, this appears to be happening when users interact with the ad area in the app, rather than deliberately tapping through to Amazon, so we do understand why it’s frustrating.

We'll update again we've released the fix, hopefully not much longer. Thanks so much to everyone who has reported it and shared details, it really does help and we're sorry for the annoyance in the meantime. Any questions/comments do let us know. 🙏

HoldMyWine · 14/05/2026 07:13

It’s worse than ever. It’s popping after I have scrolled way past the advert.

AnotherPowerPointSlideDeck · 14/05/2026 07:45

This ad is making the app totally unusable. It just auto opens.

You kind of have to wonder why the tech team don't just get their phones out and try using the app. Then they could see the abomination themselves

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/05/2026 09:13

45.3.5. Says it updated 6 days ago but tbh hasn’t made a diff to me

MrsCarmelaSoprano · 14/05/2026 09:30
