How do I remove mobile ads?

Published in Mobile Advertising 2 mins read

Unfortunately, completely removing all mobile ads is often impossible, but here's a breakdown of methods to significantly reduce or eliminate them, based on the available video snippet and general knowledge:

  • Use Ad Blockers: Numerous ad blocker apps are available for both Android and iOS devices (although iOS restrictions might limit their effectiveness on some apps). These apps work by filtering out ad requests, preventing them from loading.

  • Upgrade to Premium (Ad-Free) Versions: Many apps offer a paid, premium version that removes all ads. If you frequently use a particular ad-supported app, consider upgrading for an ad-free experience.

  • Use a VPN with Ad Blocking: Some VPN (Virtual Private Network) services include ad-blocking features as part of their service. Enabling this feature within the VPN settings can help block ads across your device.

  • Disable Personalized Ads (Android): In your Google account settings, you can limit ad tracking. While this won't eliminate all ads, it can reduce the number of ads that are tailored to your browsing habits. To do this on Android:

    1. Go to Settings > Google > Ads.
    2. Enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization" or "Reset Advertising ID".

  • Disable Personalized Ads (iOS): Similar to Android, iOS allows you to limit ad tracking in your settings. To do this on iOS:

    1. Go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking
    2. Disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track"

  • Check App Permissions: Some apps request excessive permissions. Review your app permissions and revoke any that seem unnecessary or unrelated to the app's core function. Excessive permissions can sometimes be linked to increased ad serving.

  • Be Cautious When Downloading Apps: Some apps are specifically designed to serve ads aggressively. Download apps only from trusted sources like the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, and always read reviews before installing.

  • Use Ad Blocking Browsers: Some browsers like Brave Browser have built-in ad-blocking features.

It's important to understand that some apps rely on ad revenue to remain free. By blocking all ads, you might be hindering the developers' ability to continue providing the app.
