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.

Hi all,

Thanks so much for your patience even though we know this has thoroughly tested it!

We’ve now released updated versions of both the Android and iOS apps which should fix the problem.

Please could you check that your app has updated to the latest version? You can do this by going to the App Store or Google Play Store, searching for Mumsnet, and tapping Update if the option is showing.

If you’re still seeing the issue after updating, please let us know on this thread

We’re really sorry for the disruption and appreciate everyone who helped us track the issue down.

It‘s just happened to me again. My fingers weren’t anywhere near the ad and as I scrolled it hit the top of the screen and opened it. That’s the first time it’s happened since the app updated.

App is on 45.3.6 and I’m on iOS 26.5

I'm on Android 45.3.6 and, touch wood, it appears to be fixed!

bangs head

Arcticsway · 22/05/2026 08:23

It's so bad now, it happens about every 20 seconds, so I can't use the app.

painauchoc512 · 22/05/2026 08:50

It’s still doing it. It happens to me multiple times every visit.

MrsCarmelaSoprano · 22/05/2026 12:36

I've given up using the app because of this issue. It's so unuser friendly,it's ridiculous.

Hi everyone, and thanks for continuing to flag this. We appreciate it’s frustrating that some of you are still seeing the issue where the Amazon ad opens when scrolling on threads in the app.

We're continuing to investigate this as a priority and we've turned the ad off while we work on the issue, alongside longer-term ways to reduce the chances of this happening again.

Thanks to everyone who’s taken the time to share details with us. it’s really helpful for our investigation, and we appreciate your patience while we work on a fix.

Seems to be ok for me now 😀
