You turn on the phone, you try to open WhatsApp, and another ad pops up, your phone is completely jittery and prevents you from doing anything other than waiting for the ad to finish. There is no doubt that you have encountered this situation before after installing an application whose sole intention was to take advantage of ads, which are programs that flood your devices with ads.

Once the App Watch is installed, perform the following process:
Open AppWatch and allow permission to use apps.
- Go back to AppWatch and click "Start Monitoring". From that moment on, the app will record app activity, and always show you a notification.
- Use your mobile phone in the normal way until an ad that is not intended for the application in use appears.
- Open AppWatch immediately (from the notification and look at the last app on the list. This will be the reason for showing ads.
- Remove the app in question and you are done.
It might be the case that you have multiple apps installed that display ads. If this is what is happening to you, you will have to repeat the steps of AppWatch until you have cleaned the phone completely. Remember, the app does not remove ads, it only provides you with information so you can discover which apps are causing it. Once done, you can deactivate and remove AppWatch from the phone.
