Amazon winner pop ups on my iPhone

You very obviously have not tried everything, or you wouldn't be seeing so many ads and popups. For the umpteenth time:

1) Apple, nor anyone else can "fix" the Internet.

2) Put an ad blocker on your phone.

Some additional info regarding difference between using http and https:

What is HTTPS:
HTTPS or Secure HTTP some may call it is a combination of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) with SSL/TLS protocol. Now everything you communicate over HTTPS will be sent and received in encrypted form, which adds the element of safety.

As when a client makes a request to the server, the server responds by offering a list of encryption methods. When the client connects to a website via HTTPS, the website encrypts the session with a digital certificate. Secure Sockets Layer or SSL uses a cryptographic system that encrypts data with two keys that is browser and server send each other unique codes which are used for encryption for rest of the talk.
Https is used in many situations, such as log-in pages for banking, forms, corporate logins, and other applications in which data needs to be secured. It is always advised to never enter credit card details on websites that run on HTTP.
Difference between HTTP and HTTPS
1) In case of HTTP URL begins with “HTTP://” and for HTTPS connection it is “HTTPS://”
2) HTTP is unsecured on other hand HTTPS is secured.
3) HTTP uses port 80 for communication unlike HTTPS which uses port 443
4) No certificates required for validation in case of HTTP. HTTPS requires SSL Digital Certificate
5) No encryption in HTTP; Data encrypted before sending and receiving in HTTPS.

There is another method of dealing with this posted by someone else in this thread or another one I was reading. Of course the simplest way is to install an ad blocker as so many of us have recommended. And then BOOM no more ad. But if ad blockers are against your religious beliefs you could try this, I have not had to do it so I can’t vouch for how effective it is.

When you are redirected to the problem ad/site try to find the actual url address. You are being redirected, it’s not an actual pop up. Now go to the Restrictions setting under General. Enable Restrictions. Scroll down to Allowed Content. Under that - Websites. On the next screen tap on Limit Adult Content. Then below you will see Never Allow. Tap on that and add the website address that you got for the redirected site. This may work.

Me, I’d just use an ad blocker and be done with this. But I’m the lazy type

I have an ad blocker installed... adblock plus and 1Blocker both DO NOT WORK. I have tried ALL methods espoused in this thread and NONE work. Only avoidance of the websites will work...it happens across all browsers.

I have uninstalled all my 'questionable' apps and only have the basic minimum of bank and work apps that have been on my phone for years and it still happens. And you cant block the specific popup website because the popup redirects to tons of different '.club' addresses.

Until apple comes out and says 'do this' or cleans it during a software update, NOTHING works!

If nothing works, then they're not injected ads, but rather ads placed directly on the web site. There is virtually no method available to block those. Also, many "popup" ads aren't popups at all, but a web page designed to look like a popup. Because of that, it's not seen as an ad and doen't get blocked.

If you would, post links to a couple of sites you see ads on over and over. I'd like to see if I get the same results.

I’ve had 1Blocker for a couple of years and have never seen these redirected ads. As soon as I installed it on my wife’s phone there were no more of these. So it does work. We do have the paid version which has additional features so that may be why it works for us. Or you’re seeing some other type of ad.

This showed up yesterday at weather.com. Which was really embarrassing, as if you tap on the icon n the lower left corner of Apple’s Weather app it pops up. It is still happening at this time. See my FHB thread.

I haven't been able to replicate anything unusual. My results going to weather.com on my three devices.

2010 Mac Pro - High Sierra with AdBlock Plus installed. All ads blocked. A popup appeared begging me to disable my ad blocker. Unlike many sites, it politely gave me the option to continue without disabling it. Popup went away and I was able to continue on throughout the site without seeing any ads.

iPhone 6s - AdGuard installed. All ads blocked. Only thing seen is the relevant material.

iPad 3 - Too old to even install any available ad blockers. Banner ad in the dark gray bar at the top, and a few down the right side. But no popup ads, or anything that redirects unless you tap on an ad, which is nothing more than the expected reaction.

It sounds though like you're talking about a separate App Store item for weather.com rather than going to the site in Safari. I didn't test that.

This is one of those types of infections that if it happens to you it happens to you but if you don’t see it it will never happen to you...

The only thing that I think could’ve possibly happened is that I went to a regular site and when I went to X out of one of those stupid ads that they have on the bottom of the page my fat finger clicked on the ad and somehow infected my phone ...

I was able to replicate on weather.com using iPhone 8, clean install and no cookies or previous data loaded.

It's not the site though, basically the ads on the site are likely being hijacked to deliver the screen with the spam garbage that basically ends your ability to browse and having to do the usual close safari, delete data blah blah. There are articles going back as far as 2015 on it, but recently it seems rampant on sites again.,

I have found the various ad blockers the best option, as I can't see how Apple could fix this. The best course of action once you clean your phone and get a decent blocker installed is to report the issue to the website concerned (I use twitter to make it public) as they can then work with their advertising network to get their issues cleaned up.

I see it if I go to the site in Safari (or Firefox) on iOS (iPhone and iPad). I do not see it on any of the 3 Macs in the house. I just deleted the cookies set by each of the 4 times I tested (I noted the URLs of the "popup" page), and it has not repeated.

Ah! That may be the complete solution, Lawrence. If the cookie has already been created, the site can still read that to access the ad server, despite having an ad blocker installed. So, this may be how to fix it.

1) Install an ad blocker.

2) Close Safari.

3) Clear all web site data.

Now try the sites. With the ads blocked, the ad cookie (hopefully) then cannot be created.

When I installed 1Blocker on my wife’s phone I went back to the site that she had the issue with. The redirected ad did not occur. But I did clear her Safari of everything as an extra measure. That’s probably a good step to take in any event

After reading several posts decided to contact the website that I was have the pop up to report inappropriate ad. I emailed the URL and told them the ads were attaching to their website. That was this morning. I have not received a response but when I went the website that was affected the pop up has stopped. Looks like a website problem not and Apple problem. I have an iPad not a phone but thought i would post to this community as the problem is similar.

What is also complicating matters I am sure is the ads being injected are coming in many cases from China or being made to look as if. The Whois on the kindle one has Zhengzhou privacy enabled. Many seem to be registered in the same manner.
