    <p>I'm on the latest beta version of the official Microsoft Launcher on Android and have not seen any pops-up or ads. Not sure why you are getting them though. </p>

      <blockquote><em><a href="#386736">In reply to sinderlied:</a></em></blockquote><p>now that i lookat it i wonder if its a samsung thing since it's their default messages and contacts icons. when i unlock it i get a full screen ad sometimes. this started after the msft launcher update thus why i thought that was the cause. </p>

    <p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">I love this launcher and I even use swift key as well just to make it as close to a windows phone experience as possible. My very first phone was a Nokia 520 and I kept upgrading myself until my last windows phone was a Microsoft 640 XL. Switching to Android was hard, but I didn't completely switch </span><a href="https://liteblue.me&quot; target="_blank" style="color: rgb(69, 69, 69);">official liteblue usps gov</a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);">.</span></p>
