Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Over the past six months, CTOnews.com developers have repeatedly received feedback from users that "as soon as you open CTOnews.comApp, you will pop up to open other applications." as shown in the following picture, some friends denounced this as CTOnews.com 's rogue behavior. Our CTOnews.com developers are well aware that there is absolutely no such operation in the soft media company's own business. at first, we suspected that some third-party SDK used in App caused the problem, but we found nothing after investigation.

We have observed that a common feature of these feedback is that mobile phone brands basically come from OPPO/ vivo, while pop-up windows all point to fast apps. So we suspected that it was the system's own problem, so we searched the OPPO user community for the word "fast app" and came up with the following screenshot. It should be emphasized that the picture below is only the tip of the iceberg, turning back dozens of pages of the same complaint.

Further search on the search engine found that the problem is not unique to OPPO, and "malicious pop-up windows" on domestic Android phones seem to have become a very common problem.

Search for the keywords "Quick App" on bilibili and Zhihu, and you will find that there is little technical content, and more about how to completely shut down / uninstall Quick App, which shows that Quick App has become the object of public crusade.

What on earth is a quick app? The official website of the express application is described as follows:

Fast application is a new application ecology of mobile Internet, which is an ecological standard and platform jointly built by mainstream Android phone manufacturers in the market, which reduces the development cost of developers, deeply integrates the mobile phone system, and provides users with a more scene-based experience. The fast application does not need to be installed, is ready to use, and has the complete application experience of traditional App. At the same time, it sets up an IOT working group, such as car networking, watches, etc., to realize the interconnection of multiple terminals.

To sum up, Fast App is an application development framework and running engine jointly formulated by domestic mainstream mobile phone manufacturers and built into mobile phones. Its goal is rapid development (similar to React Native), that is, point-and-use (similar to Mini Program).

At the beginning of the fast application, it also aroused the interest of the CTOnews.com development team, and we also wrote Demo internally, but finally chose to give up because of the problems of development and user experience. I just didn't expect that after a few years, the once ambitious fast app has become the hardest hit area of malicious advertising, and it is precisely its feature that it does not need to be installed and is ready to use, so that users who encounter the problem of pop-up window harassment are helpless and confused.

How do I turn off Express App? Friends who see this article, if you encounter the same problem, you can try to turn off the jump permission of Express App to solve it. Take OPPO as an example:

For ①, please go to Settings > (Application) > Application Management > Application list > Top right corner: > display system programs > search for "Quick Application" > default Open > Open supported links ", and select" do not allow applications to open links "or" do not open them in this application ".

② then go to the "Software Store" App > search for "Fast Tencent App Center" > Click to enter > my > "recently used" Arrow on the right > find the corresponding software > Click on the right side of the software ": > Web page arousal settings", close the "web link arousal service" button, you can close the "express application" service.

‎ this answer applies to all OPPO models (this answer is from the official OPPO service, see figure below)

If the above methods do not work, then you need to turn off the fast application engine to solve the problem completely, which is different in different brands of phones. Here are some tutorials from netizens for your reference:

Conclusion as to how these pop-up windows pop up, we haven't found the root of the problem, but so far, it obviously has little to do with App (non-fast application) developers, and App developers should also be victims. I would like to inform you that CTOnews.com developers will continue to pay attention to this issue.

We also call on the Express Application Alliance to find out the cause of the problem. If the frequent pop-up window is a fast application problem, ask the alliance to do a good job in the application audit, do something, and don't let the junk app destroy the ecology; if the problem is your own problem, please stop the behavior immediately and stop causing trouble to users and developers. Make a clean platform from the outside to the inside!
