Ads are a necessary evil, we get it. For some developers, those who don’t offer any in-app purchases, it is their sole source of income. And in-app banner ads are something that many of us have learned to live it. These ads are only visible until we are using the said app, and they occupy only a small portion of our screen. But things begin to go south when we have to deal with full-screen pop-up ads. In some cases, they get displayed on the home screen itself, rather than inside the app. This is something that irritates one and all. So if you echo this feeling as well, here are all the necessary steps to stop these random pop-up ads from appearing on your device.
