@live1one I don't think they are coming from Opera.

How Opera was installed?

@leocg installed normally mate. If it's not coming from opera what is it and what's it coming from?and how to make it go away permanently. I factory reset the phone yesterday. Amd woke up this morning to the update opera pop up across my home screen.
Since then I deleted the cashe and data from opera and yahoo mail as it's also happening with yahoo mail.it has not returned yet since clearing the data from opera and yahoo.but I'm waiting for it to come back
Ps I tried to see if its virus but it's not a virus or malware as the malwarebytes says the phone is clean

@live1one No idea about from where it is coming from. Maybe from a site or an app?

@live1one He was talking about the notification. Do you have some security software installed? Sometimes that will tell you when your apps are out of date. But if you updated to the latest version and are still seeing it, then you have malware on your system giving you fake alerts.

@live1one first of all, you were using very old version (Version 53) whereas the current release version is 62.
Can you give what is the updated version now? You should be using Version 62 now.

I do not see any such notification for apps especially from Opera.

You may be using a security software which may be saying Opera is not up to date. You have to find out from where it comes.

If it's coming from Opera, it should go away after update.

Re: Pop-up about important update available

The pop up is back telling me to update the dam app at this point it's time to find a new browser as much as I love opera I cant take this bs from opera. If I want to update I will just dont keep pushing notifications to me telling me to update it

Cant edit my posts so I'll reply to it instead. So 2 months ago the pop up was driving me mad.so I updated opera to the latest version v62 march I think and the pop up immediately stopped.now 2 months later the may v63 is out and low and behold the pop up is back telling me to update to the newest version. I'm deleting opera it's a shame as it's my favourite browser but opera should not be overriding our phones when we have them set to not update and product and service notifications blocked.i have all opera notifications blocked.been using opera since the beginning so it's such a shame
