Welcome to Apple Support Community!


If you are receiving those pop ups, they are coming from safari.


I am going to post a great resource to help you remove those safari pop ups.


About Pop-Up Ads and windows in safari: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987


Make sure that you check this: On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Safari and turn on Block Pop-ups and Fraudulent Website Warning.


Hope this helps ;)
