Everytime I'm scrolling on facebook through the news feed or just scrolling through google, my iphone opens up the App Store to clash of titans or some random game? My phone is not modded in any way. I reset it and everything and it still processing the problem. Does anyone know why this is happening?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4
This happens to me frequently on safari
Always when my finger is resting on the screen or scrolling
It always jumps to a king entertainment game
I never see an ad displayed beforehand
And when I go back to safari, there is no ad visible on
the screen
I'm not jailbroken and am on the latest ios version
It happens from multiple websites
If it's not a virus, either something is happening from the offscreen safari pages
Or an ad is inthe verge of being displayed and thinks that since my finger is on the screen
I must want to go to the appstore
This is known throughout the world apparently, and no you're not using it wrong, you're not going to the wrong pages since many legitimate pages are affected, and short of breaking your entire web experience (by turning off JavaScript) there is nothing you can do at the moment (well maybe change browsers I guess, haven't tried myself):
Apple should allow disabling the browser-to-AppStore behavior, it's not a very smart way of doing things from the security standpoint.
Cheerios
Why does my iphone 5 redirect to the App Store when I'm on Facebook or safari?
