Experiencing Fake Pop-Up Ads on Safari and Edge?

It's not uncommon for fake pop-ups to occur, especially if you're visiting suspicious or adult websites. However, if they're appearing out of nowhere, that’s a bit unusual. I'd recommend checking for any unauthorized profiles on your device and making sure your iOS is up to date. Also, keep track of when these incidents happen—if it’s linked to a specific app, you might want to delete that app after a review.

Clearing your Safari cache and browsing data can help with those pop-ups. They often come from aggressive JavaScript rather than malware. But definitely look out for any apps or profiles you don’t recognize. Usually, just clearing your history can resolve it—and you’ll sleep better at night knowing your device isn’t acting up!

I think I might have figured out what’s going on! Whenever I listen to music, it seems like there’s a lyric feature in my app that opens Safari for more info. That could definitely be the culprit since the app has ads. Now I'm considering switching to another music app to avoid these pop-ups.
