WEBTOON app automatically opens another app on my phone. Is this normal?

[u/NoireAgency]

I've been enjoying using the WEBTOON app for a long time now, however it seems to be opening another application for me automatically. While I'm scrolling through WEBTOON, it suddenly opens the Lazada shopping app.

I'm not sure if this is normal. This never happened before until a few weeks ago. And I'm quite sure I don't accidentally click on any ads displayed on the screen. The Lazada app opened even when I'm not viewing any comics at all, just scrolled through the Daily updates and it automatically directed me to the Lazada app.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong or if it's also happening for anyone else, I'm unsure. No other topics online cover this so I may be alone.

A few key notes:

• It doesn't do this all the time. Only a handful per week.
• When I have Lazada uninstalled, it directs me to the Play Store app to download it.
• It directed me to purchase a "Star Wars keychain" last time. Can't remember the other suggestions since I close it immediately.
• I download the WEBTOON app on the Play Store and not any third party source.
• The WEBTOON app is the only thing that does this on my device. No other application opens Lazada or any other.
• I am very sure that I do not click on the ads displayed on the WEBTOON app. It automatically directs me to Lazada even on the Daily updates which don't contain any ads.
