Some advertising on India forums is maybe not age appropriate / necessary. Nothing against LGBTQ.

Anyway, I'm tagging Vijay and PareshIF so that they can look into it. If necessary, they'll investigate further and take appropriate action.

Hi. Vijay and mod team.

I changed my device and cant download the IF app again. It was that Chrome wrapper thing that worked wonders for me and I didnt have to engage my browser. Can anyone send me that again? Link or even the APK? I forgot to save the APK because i thought it will appear again.

Cant tag Vijay because i am either restricted or his tags are off .

I am tagging Vijay, so that you will be guided by him to regain your IF app.

Hi. I got it.

Posting this by app.

Priya, I think this advertisement is likely coming from the website or platform (country) you're accessing India Forums from, rather than an advertisement sponsored by India Forums itself.

This is a screenshot from my iPhone

Websites often use third-party advertising networks (such as Google Ads and similar services) to display advertisements. These ad networks serve ads based on factors like your geographic location, IP address, browsing context, and other targeting parameters. That's why users in different countries often see completely different advertisements on the same webpage!

India Forums' own promotional ads, such as Modern Astro and other IF-related advertisements, are clearly their sponsored content. However, if we see ads for dating apps or other objectionable websites such as you mentioned above, they are most likely being delivered by a third-party ad network and are not advertisements specifically selected or endorsed by India Forums.

In other words, the content of those ads is generally determined by the advertising platform and the user's location, rather than by India Forums itself.

For ex... I am getting these ads on my IF page at present--

For example, if I search online for air tickets to India, I start seeing advertisements for airlines and travel websites for the next few days. Similarly, if I browse Swarovski products with the intention of buying something, advertisements for Swarovski and similar jewelry brands begin appearing across different websites. This happens because many advertising networks use browsing activity and search history to deliver targeted ads.

Just delete those ads; after a few attempts, such ads will stop appearing automatically.

Priya, what I was trying to explain is that not every advertisement appearing on the India Forums webpage is directly served or controlled by India Forums.

I have personalised ads turned off on my iPhone.
