Congratulations you have won an iPhone pop-up

That’s not true. That doesn’t work. Don’t you think everyone tried clearing their browsers or resetting their phone? DID NOT WORK. And no it’s not always something the users did. Why do you have to be so rude. If you can’t help then move on.

Disagreeing with you or telling you something you don't like is not "rude". And Lawrence's advice is correct. Whether or not you intended to visit a compromised site is not the point. No one sets out to step in a puddle or stub their toe. It's still not anyone else's fault.

Being condescending is rude. Period. Again, it didn’t work. As many have already said. No one asked for, or needs, opinions. They just want help with their phones. Nothing more. Also, again, if you can’t help then just move on. No one needs lessons in what they MIGHT have done wrong.

No one is being condescending. And yes, sometimes our problems are, at least in part, the result of something we did. The important thing is to learn from our mistakes.

when i open my safari he says congratulations you win iphone x . plz guide me that its true or not?

Did you read any of this thread before posting in it? The question has been asked and answered.

Hi, Thank you. Yes, of course I blocked pop-ups. The you have won message appears when you open safari, or type in any address. It does not appear as a pop-up, as those are blocked, but rather any HTTP address typed in the address bar is redicted to this, your have won an amazon... message

It simply redirects anything that is in the address bar to the offending page.

Did you CLEAR HISTORY AND WEBSITE DATA in Safari Settings?

One more thing to check that hasn't been mentioned: Go to Settings/General. Look for an entry for Profiles. If you see it open it and delete the advertising profile that you agreed to install.

Yes, I followed all of the instructions to a T. I properly closed safari (Double-pressed the HOME button and swiped up on Safari) and cleared my cache (Settings/Safari and cleared History and Website data). I just did it again to double check, and it redirects my page to "gitcardmob.top" and the message is "Congratulations! Amazon.com User! You have been selected for a ....[blah blah blah]". I can't shake the redirecting.

Actually scratch that, dolphin and chrome we’re working fine before, but now that I reopened Safari and trade all of the stuff that you asked me to do, for some reason now Dolphin and chrome are redirecting to that Amazon message 😢

It doesn't even seem to be limited to particular browsers. I have both Safari and Chrome on my iPad, and I get the same pop-ups every single time I open up either browser. Not even uninstalling and then reinstalling Chrome changed anything. All this started just in the last day or two.

I may have to try completely wipe my iPad clear and reinstall everything.

That would be a waste of time.

The popups are not caused by anything on your iPad, rather they are coming from javascript code embedded somewhere in the web site you are visiting, and almost always an advertisement on that page.

You can either ignore them as a nuisance, stop visiting that page or find an ad blocker that works for you.

I’m also having this issue with chrome. Deleted everything, cleaned everything nothing same happens on different sites. I hate it ! APPLE wake up! We are getting annoyed!

You may be annoyed but your anger at Apple is misdirected.

Posting that here after 2-1/2 years is not going to solve your problem. You can ignore them, invest in a good adblocker or file feedback with Apple, but I highly doubt that Apple is going to do anything more than they already have about such things.

You can install the Adblock app - it will prevent the pop up, BUT, it’s totally annoying because it then blocks you from going to all kinds of sites you want to go to. I finally had to turn it off and now I’m dealing with the **** “you’ve won” pop ups again.

I have Adblock installed but I keep turning it off because it blocks you from visiting all kinds of sites you want to go to. Basically if you google something and then try to visit one of the sites that comes up, Adblock will prevent you from going there. So it’s annoying.
