I know this might not look the right place to ask, but has anyone else had a wee flashing red light, message icon, at the bottom of your screen?

Says my phone has been infected and I should follow a link to get it removed. Scam!!

It’s probably a really deceptive advert

I would avoid any unsolicited messages suggesting you click on a link.

You`ll have allowed a website or app to send you notifications. If you go into your app settings you should see an option to view which ones have notification permission.

Good advice. Passing it on so no one falls for it. Maybe Brian can see where it came from?

Interestingly, it’s disappeared!

I had an issue a couple weeks ago, a weird image popped up. I found a broken link.
So it should not be happening now.

If possible a screen shot would be great to try and track anything down.

Yep very wary of any messages that ask you to fix something
