How to Get rid of Spam Notification on your Phone
Malicious apps display full-screen advertisements, even when you are using another app. But, it is incredibly easy to figure out where these come from. Whenever this sort of ad pops up, just open the Recents/multi-tasking view (the screen that shows all the apps currently running) and you’ll see which app is at the front of the queue and serving you the ad.
The real app name or icon should appear at the top. And some apps change this to dodge the user. All you have to do is hold down on the app name or icon and select ‘App info’ from the menu. This will take you to the info screen for the application sending those ads.
You can uninstall the app from there. This way you will be able to get rid of the app sending you those unwanted ads. Allowing you to save battery and RAM because the removed app used your phone’s resources to run in the background.
How to get rid of unwanted Notification ads
Push notifications containing ads are the most common type of ads on android. On any phone running Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher, just long-press the notification to see which app it came from. Most of the time, the app name is already visible at the top of the alert, but some apps hide that detail.
You’ll probably want to uninstall the offending app, and you can do so by tapping the settings and then the app icon to get to the ‘App info’ screen. From there you can uninstall it from your phone altogether. If you want to keep it, you can choose to just hide the notifications instead.
If you don’t want to uninstall the app that’s sending the notifications then you can turn off its banner ads altogether. But that’s recommended only for trusted apps. As some apps that are downloaded from third-party sources can harm your phone other than sending notification ads. So be vigilant.
