I’m using a Fairphone running Android 13 and I just got two different popups offering me some sort of AI assistant through something called ‘Appnomix’.

I definitely did not install this on my phone and searches in Apps and Settings bring up nothing. Does anyone know where it came from and how to get rid of it?

EDIT: I worked out what it was! Copying my reply below here in case anyone else has the same issue.

I realised both times it popped up was while I was typing, and a bit of searching online revealed it was indeed from my keyboard app, so I uninstalled it and wrote them a message telling them to respectfully go fuck themselves.

So, yeah. Uninstall Typewise.

    Most likely it’s either embedded in some other app you downloaded, or it’s a temp file that came from a shady website. I would look over any other apps you recently downloaded even if they seem totally unrelated especially games or utility apps that don’t have many ratings, and you can also try clearing cache and cookies from your web browser

      Thanks! I worked out what it was and you’re right, it was embedded in an app. I realised both times it popped up was while I was typing, and a bit of searching online revealed it was indeed from my keyboard app, so I uninstalled it and wrote them a message telling them to respectfully go fuck themselves.
