stared notification

[islandguy808]

I have received a notification with a star next to it a few times. Looks like spam.Today's says "Wanna Know Who Texted Him?"
What are these? They do not show up in my email or text folders. Nor do they show up in my spam folders online. What are they? What does the star mean?

Sorry new to android here. Feeling my way around still.

I think they're ads. I installed a game which included these ads. I removed the game and I dont receive them anymore.

If you're are looking to get rid of them Id say check your latest installed apps. Check the reviews for the app. Thats how I was able to track mine down.

HTH

Read the description and/or reviews before you install apps, people. Also there are a bunch of threads on this already, use the search function.

Anyway, these are called airpush ads. It's a shady, bs way of advertising. Use an app called Airpush Detector from the play store to find out which ones are doing it and uninstall them.
