  1. Same issue as well. Have an Assurance Wireless U693CL that I got in July 2020. It worked fine for about 6 months, then all of sudden these pop up ads started appearing for g21news stories, tarot card readings, just a bunch of B.S. crap. This happens constantly when I try to browse, as I open apps, whatever, up pop the ads totally interrupting my use of the device. After installing Malwarebytes, and scanning phone, it alerted to adware issue in the android "phone" application system area. Android/PUP.Riskware.HiddenAds.YTHX. installed application: (android icon) Phone. Kinda need this app to make and receive calls? So the phone's battery now has issues and won't last through the night. So I called Assurance and told them about my problems. The agent to her credit tried to help me out with the pop up adware issue. Tried a few things, seemed to improve. Of course no pop ups while talking to her. A few minutes after our conversation--- pop up ads started again, yikes...Sending "new" phone (Wiko Lite 2) out soon (because of battery Issue). Hopefully it will not have the pre-installed adware popup code embedded inside.
