I've had the z fold 7 for a couple of weeks now and every time I go to open my messages, messenger, or any other app, I get pop ups. I haven't installed any new apps since I've had it. I checked the ad settings, and have gone into chrome and checked those settings as well but it is still happening. Anyone know why?

If you are receiving intrusive ads/pop-ups on your device, Samsung's Nice Catch App can help you locate the offending app.

Turn on "detect commercials" and "toast history" and wait for the pop up to occur. Nice catch will tell you what the offending app is so you can delete it.

@JCFIII Unfortunately 3rd party apps often get taken over by another company or decide to move from friendly to malicious with updates. I would remove 3rd party apps until you solve it.

It could be anything. Some handy file utility, some flashlight tool, some utility to show phone temperature, digital ruler, calorie tracker, etc.

Do you have a carrier phone?  I second @CEParsons suggestion of using nice catch to find the culprit.
