AlDente67 563 Posted October 22, 2020 Been receiving several dozen notifications per day on my galaxy phone from some outfit called rewardprograms, which redirects to a random source (for free junk). I can't seem to block these because of the ever-changing source. They come in droves every few minutes. Any ideas on stopping them short of disabling all notifications completely (a few of which I actually want...from sources I approve)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,872 Posted October 22, 2020 What kind of notifications - are they actual app notifications, or text messages? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlDente67 563 Posted October 22, 2020 They are app notifications where you drag down the main screen to view the titles and a brief description. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Malice4you 627 Posted October 23, 2020 long press on the notification(s) and go to APP INFO or NOTIFICATIONS, if you decide to keep the app at least disable notifications and change any permissions, or I would be uninstalling whatever is doing it. May also wanna download AVG free antivirus and at least do a scan. If you don't lock AVG down, it will send more notifications than I like, but you can uninstall it after you're done if so inclined.

JackDaWack 2,894 Posted October 23, 2020 I would be curious what kind of app would even do something like this and delete it. This past week I've been getting dozens of scam calls, I never had to turn on the phones soam filter, but it seemed to work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted October 23, 2020 It's 100% an app causing it if it's in the notification panel. Swipe the notification from right to left slightly and click on the settings. This will bring you to the app causing it in app settings. Uninstall the app. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is what you get, you (or your data) is the product being sold after you download a FREE app. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
