A very competitive category in the mobile sector is mid-range mobiles. Every mobile manufacturer tries their best to provide budget-friendly mobiles. So, They have to compromise on many things. They have to sell the mobile with less margin. To compensate for this kind of loss, Companies begin to show Marketing Ads to the customers in their mobile lock screen or notification area. It is not ethical to deliver Ads to your users when they already pay for their mobile price. Fortunately, we can disable those Ads in your Samsung Galaxy Mobiles. You don’t need any advanced methods like root access in your mobile to do the process.
Before now, it was only mobile apps and web pages that display ads as you navigate to view different pages. But currently, ads are not being integrated into bloatware apps and even OS. Samsung has introduced ads in its Galaxy smartphone, and not everyone loves this improvement.

Why Samsung showing Marketing Ads in Galaxy Mobiles?
Of recent, Samsung started pushing ads to its Galaxy users. These promotional adverts are meant to advertise other products from the brands and their partners. It isn’t delightful to purchase a smartphone priced over $1,000 and then get greeted by ads from the manufacturer’s marketing team.
But well, it seems like it has come to stay, and the only thing you can do at the moment is to disable them while we wait to see if Samsung would treat the issue. Xiaomi also following the same pattern of marketing Ads in their mobiles.
