I don't see the link between your father in law using your iPad to then get random websites popping up on his phone.

Are any of the sites ones you've visited on your iPad?

Maybe he should factory reset his phone to remove any erroneous apps or virus's that may have been picked up.

If I've helped you, please click Thanks

 

Hi yes before I reset my iPad there was a few but since then he still gets them

Sounds like this is linked to some app or dodgy email he may have opened.

Have you tried a reset of his phone?

Some apps use advertising and once you install the app, adds/pages keep opening. I have had it before and stopped it by uninstalling the app
