How to Stop Those Annoying ‘Congratulatory’ Ads on Your iPhone
I can deal with advertisements popping up on websites. Yes, they can be annoying, but 9 times out of 10, I'm reading free content and I understand that the website has to fund its staff. The pop-ups that are really obnoxious are the Facebook 'Congratulatory' ads.
It's easy to get them to stop showing up. Just go to your Safari Settings and scroll until you see 'Clear History and Website Data' - Click that! There's also a button called 'Block Pop-ups' switch under the General settings. Make sure that is on and make sure you select all of these things:
- Prevent Cross-Site Tracking
- Block All Cookies
- Ask Websites Not To Track Me
- Fraudulent Website Warning
Take 30 seconds to clear your history and change your settings and you'll most likely never see one of those annoying ads again.
And since you have your phone out, download our app. Use it to listen live everywhere, read local news and info on area events and enter exclusive contests!
