Amazon winner pop ups on my iPhone

Try deleting Facebook messenger app if you have it. That worked for me .

When in Allrecipes website the amazon ad appears. When I connect thru IPVanishVPN no issues with the annoying ad.

dont know why I didn’t think of this earlier.

I tried all the suggestions also, and still get the pop ups. Recently switched to Firefox browser for iPhone and have had no more issues!

Or install accident avoidance technology. Ad blocker😉

Just install an adblocker from the App Store. They work I haven’t seen any ads or intrusive pop-ups since I installed it.

I had this same problem and none of the “fixes” helped. I think it’s a Safari problem because I ditched it and downloaded the google chrome browser and haven’t had to deal with those pop ups since.

Ummm. If you read this thread, you would know that it is not an iPhone problem. It is happening on android devices to. Stop whining and download an ad blocker. Problem solved.

Wipr still working great. No Amazon winner pop up since the download. 🙂

I had to install a 3rd party ad blocker. So far that has worked. Before almost all websites I was getting the pop up.

I’ve tried clearing the history without luck. I now use Firefox instead of Safari until Apple has a fix. I have zero problems now in Firefox.

You didn't get a virus. It's not a virus. It's a web page hijack. It's annoying, but harmless. Here's how to clear it-->Dealing with Safari popups that won't go … - Apple Community

The instructions for clearing history and cookies together with resetting the ad identifier is not a permanent fix. It will, however, address it for the time you are getting the pop-up. If you want a more permanent fix is to turn off javascript but you probably do not want that.

No, you are correct. But next time it comes up try not clicking the "close" button on the ad.

You can cripple the phone, that’s one “solution“, or try one of the ad blocker apps that do work and will essentially cure your problem. That seems like a no brainer to me. And I continue to say that because until my wife complained I had never seen or heard of this problem. But I’ve used ad blockers for years.

This is not really practical advice apologies with regards to avoiding websites it is now too wide spread. These ads are a syndicated service and impact pretty much all media sites, IBM sites like weather.com through to popular social media outlets. Telling people to avoid what general folk look at on the internet is not a helpful solution. I finally got rid of mine using a blocking type app which can be freely found on the Apple App Store. That aside, I did report with screenshots to the larger websites they had unethical ads up so I think if you have these take a few minutes to also report as then hopefully they can put pressure on these syndicates to clean up their act. Note I tweet at them to make the request very public.

As the owner of 2 iPhones, 2 windows laptops, 1 windows 2 in 1 tablets, 5 kindle fires (some rooted with custom android stock while some are still stock kindle fires), 6 android phones, 3 android tablets, etc I can honestly say that this is NOT just an apple problem!!! It occurs on multiple operating sytems, multiple devices and multiple browsers and there is no clear cut solution that consistently resolves this problem! While just deleting your browsers history and cache doesn't fix this problem it does help in the respect that when you attempt to go to a website your browser will automatically attempt to load speed up your browsing experience by using the saved cache from your most recent visit to that site thus by deleting your browsers cache you are forcing it to go the actual website url you type in. So deleting browser cache and history will help somewhat but there are a few other things I would recommend as well. Check your browser settings, especially your cookies!! If you see that you have enabled cookies, especially 3rd party cookies with no restrictions you are effectively giving every single website, ad, link, etc that you click on the ability to put cookies in your device that can not only track you but also make changes to your system!!! Also, while having settings like preload top hit, suggestions, quick website search, and other browser optimization services enabled your are basically going to be directed to the exact websites/ip addresses of those that you have visited quite frequently - aka you are more likely to be taken to a website which compromised your device already. Last, ALWAYS use https and not http when going to a website as it is more secure. I wish there was a 100% clear cut solution for this problem but the reality is that there are so many different types of security flaws, malware, viruses, etc that are affecting browsers and devices regardless of whether you have an apple product, android, pc, mac, etc. Wish I had a better answer, if anyone does please let me know, but I hope this helps somewhat.
