Hello Mazingzz,
Different websites may have pop-ups. You could disable pop-ups from occurring with these steps: Block pop-up ads and windows in Safari
Block pop-up ads and windows in Safari
Learn how to block pop-up windows and handle persistent ads on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Pop-ups can be ads, notices, offers, or alerts that open in your current browser window, in a new window, or in another tab. Some pop-ups are third-party ads that use phishing tactics such as warnings or prizes to trick you into believing they’re from Apple or another trusted company, so that you’ll share personal or financial information. Or they might claim to offer free downloads, software updates, or plug-ins to try to trick you into installing unwanted software.
Use these tips to help manage pop-ups and other unwanted interruptions.
Avoid interacting with pop-ups
Unless you’re confident that they are a legitimate ad, avoid interacting with pop-ups or webpages that seem to take over your screen.
- If you see an annoying pop-up ad in Safari, you can go to the Search field and enter a new URL or search term to browse to a new site. If you don’t see the Search field on your iPhone or iPad, tap the top of the screen to make it appear.
- Some pop-ups and ads have fake buttons that resemble a close button, so use caution if you try to close a pop-up or ad. If you're not sure, avoid interacting with it and close the Safari window or tab.
Update your software
Always install the latest software updates for all of your Apple products. Many software releases have important security updates and may include improvements that help control pop-ups.
The safest way to download apps for your Mac is from the App Store. If you need software that isn’t available from the App Store, get it directly from the developer or another reliable source, rather than through an ad or link.
Check Safari settings
On your iPhone or iPad, go to Settings > Safari.
- Turn on Block Pop-ups.
- Turn on Fraudulent Website Warning.
