Because the ads are lying. They are attempting to install malware on your device. I recommend installing Malwarebytes from the Google Play Store and taking advantage of its features.

👋 Hello BlueSonikku

These ads appear from sketchy links. They try to make you download malware onto your device. Just ignore them.

Cheers, Jason
