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.
