Well this is another major cause of your smartphone slavery for an anonymous malware, try to check the latest apps which you recently installed to your phone before the annoying ads began displaying, it may likely be the cause, so it is advised to stay away from unofficial apps or mod apps, am not saying you should not use mod apps like GB WhatsApp again rather you should not over interact your smartphone with unofficial apps, you might have always receive warnings from your system stating that this device stores information and your personal data and passwords On it server, so I recommend you to download apps from the application store.
Let me start by briefing you of my experience,
One of my friend who was using Gionee M3 had this problem so he decided to bring it to me to see if i can help him sort out the problem, so I inserted my MTN line with 570mb of data into his phone because at that time his data had been exhausted due to the data chopped off by the unknown malware, I then switched on the phone enabled data connection, as soon as I enabled the data access suddenly third party apps began to reinforce themselves from nowhere, besides, ads began to cover the phones screen, the worst part of it is that this malware also force closes your personal apps thereby restricting you from having full access to your apps, I launched chrome browser from the phones menu and tried to open a webpage but the connection was very slow, Immediately I disabled data access to reduce the annoying colonization. I then looked at my friend and smiled at him, he also smiled back, lol "that's strange" he said, so I used my phone (unaffected) to transfer kingroot apk through xender to the gionee M3 android, I also rooted it succesfully, so I launched the kingroot app and used the remove system app feature to begin uninstalling different malware's in the phone some had no icon, while some are fake famouse apps, afterward I rebooted the device and surprisingly to my observation guess what happened...?
In other to confirm that the problem had ended I once again enabled data flow, as soon as I gave way to data access it seems that the problem had trippled, these time around the fake apps are trooping into the phone by the speed of light thereby exhausting my data, just the way it did to my friend, so I became surprised for all those apps that I Uninstalled including jiji.ng returned. So I came to understand that a more advanced method is the key to stop all this mess.
the following is the step by step method which you can use to stop automatic downloads and ads display on android
Method 1:
Install a custom ROM for your device:
