Hi Callum, Thanks for the reply. Apologies for the confusion - the ad would pop back up again 10 seconds after I closed the *ad*, every time. (I.e. I open TradeMe, scroll a bit, this ad pops up, I hit "x", it goes away, then no matter what I do it pops up again 10 seconds later if I still have the app open.) No impact on the phone when the TradeMe app wasn't open. It was an add for a travel agency or something, advertising Vanuatu. I haven't seen the ad reappear, so I've been unable to replicate the issue. I got the impression that TradeMe was trying out a new feature where some ads became...
On the TradeMe iOS app, a full-screen popup video ad appears shortly after opening the app (first time seeing this today), and when I close it out it automatically reappears every 10 seconds. The app is close to unusable as a result. The issue seems to have been addressed by completely deleting and reinstalling the app, but I don't have confidence that it won't reoccur. Seems to me like a new feature (full-screen, popup ads, annoying even when they do work as intended) was not tested on a wide range of devices before being pushed out. Device: iPhone 12 mini
