"As an alternative to app install interstitials, browsers provide ways to promote an app that are more user-friendly," Google said, pointing at the more mobile-friendly banners that appear on top of a mobile site, which asks users if they want to download an app or not.

"Banners provide a consistent user interface for promoting an app and provide the user with the ability to control their browsing experience."


Those are the ones that really annoy me! They tend to be a quarter of the screen ffs.

It is only for interstitial (overlay) ads for downloading an app for the website.

It is purely about revenue. If you visit a website with your iPhone, Google will earn on the adverts. If you download the App, Apple will get the revenue.

You will note.that all other interstitial adverts (I.e. the ones from Google) aren't affected by this.
