Fixed: issue with dismissing anchor ads on iOS devices

Status:Resolved

We recently identified an issue where the "close" button on anchor ads was not visible to some users on iOS mobile devices. This caused ads to occupy the full height of the screen without a clear way for users to dismiss them.

Impacted publishers might have seen a temporary but significant increase in clickthrough rate (CTR) on iOS devices between February 12 and February 18, 2026.

We've now fixed the issue. As of February 18, 2026, the fix is being deployed globally.

We're sorry for any inconvenience caused by this issue.
