    You have a app on your phone doing that. Now the fun part, finding which one is doing it. Start with recent apps installed, even a month ago as some apps have 30 day trials.

    Figured out it was the stupid TouchPal app that I had installed to get some custom keyboards as soon as I uninstalled that it was fine. I have found anything related to touch pal is full of ads and junk

    Note the developer - they seem to have a ton of keyboards out there. Never install anything developed by them.

    that's the reason I never install anything that says contains adds or in add purchases, I will rather pay a few quid to a serious developer and avoid that crap

    I'll always opt for the paid app provided they have a sufficient number of downloads.
