The solution is introduced by Google itself for their Chrome browser after getting a lot of complaints from their users on their product forum and feedback received through the play store. So, here is how you can stop vibrating ads from vibrating your phone without your permission.
How To Stop Vibrating Ads On Android
There are plenty of browsers available for play store. You can see thousands of them on play store. But, only a few are popular as they provide a seamless browsing experience. Google Chrome, UC Browser, Mozilla Firefox, Opera Mini are one of those popular ones.
But, when it comes to easy to use and good user experience, Google Chrome is best.
Most of the Android phones come with Chrome browser pre-installed and you don’t actually need to install another browser. This is what I think.
But, everyone has their own choice. And some these browser are good for some tasks, they even perform better than chrome for that specific work.
Just like I prefer UC Browser for downloading.
UC Browser also has a powerful ad blocker. But, even it fails to block these unwanted pop-up ads.
One solution is that you block all popups in your browser, but that not that effective and not a permanent solution as well. So we have brought some tips for you which can be followed by you to block such vibrating ads on your Android smartphone.
Google Chrome 60 Blocks Vibrating Ads By Default
As I have already told that Google Chrome has introduced a feature which will not let these websites vibrate these phones without your permission. So here is how you can make your Chrome browser vibration proof.
Step 1. Download/Update Chrome browser to the latest version (60+)
Step 2. Let it finish downloading and installation
Step 3. If you can’t see the latest version then wait for few days to get released it for your device
Step 4. You can also download the latest APK from APK Mirror
That’s all you need to do, now your phone will not vibrate without your permission.
Delete All Forcefully Downloaded Apps
Now, you have a foolproof Browser which doesn’t let these websites vibrate your phone. But, what about those apps which are already downloaded and installed?
In that case, you should uninstall these apps from your phone.
- Go to phone settings
- Click on Installed Apps / Downloaded Apps
- Look at each app carefully
- If you find any useless app or any app which you haven’t installed on your own just click on that and hit uninstall.
That’s all, you have successfully uninstalled these apps. Now, your phone might also have stored APK file of these apps so just go to download section and delete them
- Look at all download folders such as Downloads or UC Download etc and delete each apk file
Now you have completely cleaned your phone from these unwanted apps.
It has multiple benefits, such as…
- Free up space in phone storage
- Stops faster battery drain
- Keeps the phone running smoothly
- Prevent unwanted apps from lagging your phone, so on…
One more thing…
We have just stopped such websites from vibrating your phone but now from downloads.
Means these websites can still show some popup for download but they will not be able to vibrate your phone anymore.
So, if any message for virus etc comes then don’t be panic, just close the tab or hit back.
Your phone doesn’t have any virus, so don’t download any app which they offer for you to download.
What To Do If Not Using Chrome Browser?
Not everyone uses the Chrome browser.
Yes, I know everyone has different preferences.
If you want to fix that you can simply turn off popups by going to browser settings, but it doesn’t block those sites from vibrating which vibrates your phone without opening a new popup. Such site uses same tab redirection which can’t be prevented.
On another hand, you can use the Mozilla Firefox web browser as it asks for permission before vibrating your phone.
That’s a quite good feature or Firefox and must be added to other browsers as well.
So you can also give a try to Mozilla Firefox if you don’t like Chrome browser.
But, I prefer Chrome. 🙂
So, guys, that’s all for now, I am sure that I have solved your problem. If you follow complete process then it will stop vibrating ads which appears suddenly with a popup and offers something for download.
