Google has rolled out some changes to their mobile apps with focus on preventing accidental clicks.
The company said that most accidental clicks happen when the user is trying to scroll down or navigating around.
Google would now ask for a confirmation if the click is made on border areas.
Google said:
We find that most accidental clicks on in-app image ads happen at the outer edge of the ad unit, likely when you’re trying to click or scroll to nearby content. Now if you click on the outer border of the ad, we’ll prompt you to verify that you actually meant to click on the ad to learn more.
