[Android Central Question]

Why is all of a sudden my phone attaching ads to me texts. I have Moto 6 from Motorola. Android version 8.0. It never happened for 6 month now all of a sudden, after an update here we are.

What kind of ads are you seeing? Is it in the app or are your recipients seeing the add as well? Are you using the stock app or a messaging app that might be showing you ads (like the free version of Textra)? Does it happen with all texts or only when you attach a link? You might be seeing the site preview (not attached to your message) and not an ad.
