Advertisements are one of the most annoying elements when using the smartphone, since no user likes having to constantly see advertising while using the terminal. However, removing all advertising to be able to use the mobile freely is possible. In this guide, we explain the different methods available to remove all ads from an Android mobile.

Advertising is present in many sections of the phone, from web browser to Facebook to messages app. Moreover, manufacturers such as Samsung and Xiaomi are also introducing their own advertisements on their terminals. Next, we analyze the presence of advertising on Android phones at length to explain how to stop it.

It is possible to remove all advertisements from your Android, follow these steps to remove them.

Completely eliminate advertising from your Android mobile

There are many services and applications on your Android mobile in which you can find advertising. Next, we see how to remove ads from each of these sections.

Remove pop-ups from Chrome

Of course, you can find advertising while browsing Google Chrome, not only in the form of advertising sections on the web pages you visit, but also in the form of pop-up windows. These pop-ups can be very annoying and difficult to close, so it is best to block them.

Fortunately, Chrome has an automatic pop-up blocker. It is possible that this tool has been disabled on your mobile, which causes these ads to continue to appear. You can re-enable Chrome's pop-up blocker or verify that it's active by following this process:

1. Open Google Chrome on your mobile.
2. Click the three-dot button in the upper right corner.
3. In the options menu, click on the “Settings” section.
4. Go to "Site Settings".
5. Go to “Pop-ups and redirects” and check that the box is disabled, as this means that pop-ups cannot appear. You can also enter "Ads" to see that the tool is disabled and therefore invasive or misleading advertisements are blocked.

If, after this check, the pop-ups continue to appear on your mobile when browsing with Google Chrome, it may be the fault of malware that has been installed on your terminal. Therefore, you will have to proceed to remove the virus from your phone.

Remove apps with ads

While downloading third party applications from Google Play Store or alternative methods, there is a chance that these may invade your mobile with advertisements in the form of notifications and even with advertisements that take up the whole screen when you have other open applications. To find out which application it is and to be able to act against it, just open the Multitasking screen. The last application that appears will be the one that shows the application and the one that you need to close.

How to Use Instagram Without Seeing Ads

Another option to remove ads is to pay for the premium version of the app i.e. subscribe to the paid version. This is usually the best option to get rid of ads while still enjoying app features.

Finally, if you don't want to support ads and don't want to pay for the premium version, it's best to remove apps that contain ads. It's as simple as going into Settings > Apps, navigating to the page of the app you want to remove, and hitting the "Uninstall" button.

Delete SMS spam

Advertising even appears in text messages on your mobile, which is not a tasteful dish. However, the Android messaging app has been automatically blocking SMS spam since late December 2018, which is another of the coolest native features of this operating system. If you continue to receive text messages with advertisements, you can follow these steps to activate the blocker or check that it is still active:

1. Open the “Messages” application on your mobile.
2. Click on the button with three dots that appears in the right corner of the search engine.
3. Go to “Settings” then “Spam protection”.
4. Check the box “Enable spam protection”.
5. Finally, on the main screen, you can click the three-dot button again and enter “Spam and blocked” to see which spam messages the messaging app has automatically blocked.

Remove YouTube and Spotify ads

If you are a regular user of YouTube and Spotify, you will know that these two streaming platforms occasionally show advertisements in their free versions. Before watching videos or listening to music, you should wait a few seconds while watching or listening to selected advertisements. If this ad bothers you, there is a clear solution: subscribe to the paid versions of both platforms.

On the one hand, there is YouTube Premium, which allows you to do without ads, to be able to download content to watch it offline and to watch videos in the background. This service offers you a first month of free trial, then costs 11.99 euros per month later. It should be noted that there are other options to try YouTube Premium for free, so you can try these methods.

With the YouTube Premium subscription, you can remove ads.

If your intention is to listen to your favorite music ad-free, you can subscribe to Spotify Premium. Other advantages of this service are being able to skip all the songs you want and being able to download them to your devices to listen to without an internet connection. There are several options to try Spotify Premium for free, so you can use it for a few days to see if this paid version will convince you. If you want the individual plan, it has a price of 9.99 euros per month.

In short, the best option to remove YouTube and Spotify ads is to subscribe to some of their paid plans.

Delete advertising notifications

The most common method Samsung uses to show you advertising is through push notifications that let you know about upcoming launches, offers, and other information of interest. Luckily, you can turn off these notifications so they don't bother you anymore. If one of these notifications appears, you can permanently block it by long-pressing on it.

If Samsung didn't send you any, but you still want to block them, follow these steps to do so permanently:
