"your iPhone has been randomly selected"

I keep getting that popup whenever I click on a link. I did clear website data and history then hard reset. But it is still doing it? Is there another option I can ttry?

The above information would be helpful. Also, do you not have a content blocker installed/enabled?

I always visit tvline.com and if they offer a video, before I am even able to click on anything, I recieve the ""your iPhone has been randomly selected"

I do not. I never even thought of installing one on my iPhone 7 plus

I browsed the site for several minutes with no ads. Perhaps try installing a content blocker.

same here.

i'm sure it is one of the ad servers tho. i've been seeing more and more reports of the full page ads on phones lately.

Can you take a screenshot of the message?

I've had this happen to me too on an app. It only lets me click ok, so I always have to kill the app before I can use it.

Don't visit pages that host ****** ads.

All pages have ads, even ones that don't host them can have malware hidden in the ad. You might as well just say don't go on the internet.

Most pages don't have crappy ads like that though.

Yet an ad, yes any ad, can contain malware even if it dosn't look "crappy"

Sure, that can happen, it just generally doesn't.
