Samsung finally got rid of ads in branded in-app apps

In August, South Korean company Samsung promised its users to remove ads from all of its embedded mobile apps by the end of the year. Less than two months later, Samsung delivered on its promise. Since October 1st, the annoying ads that have annoyed many users for years are no longer in Samsung apps.

Members of the Samsung community were the first to notice the changes. And soon this was confirmed by the official representative of the Korean tech giant. He said that starting October 1, Samsung stopped serving ads in branded apps such as Samsung Pay, Samsung Health and Samsung Weather. It also appears that banner ads have disappeared from Galaxy Themes.

Samsung technically only confirmed this change in South Korea, but in fact, the disappearance of ads is reported by users in other regions as well. Those who still have ads in Samsung apps are advised to force-stop the program and then start it again.
