What's with these "alerts" at the bottom of the screen? There's no way to turn them off. I don't have a need for or want these alerts.

Disappointing changes to the app

The upgrade to the app no longer allows sharing a story nor can the photos be enlarged for better viewing.
Advertising has become a blaring noise when opening stories. I’m disappointed with all of this because this site was “my go-to” for news.
