One of the biggest frustrations for Samsung Galaxy users has been the presence of ads in the company's stock apps. In a welcome move, Samsung has announced it will remove these ads from its proprietary applications later this year, delivering a cleaner and more enjoyable experience.
Confirming the news in a statement to The Verge, a Samsung spokesperson said: "Samsung has decided to stop hosting ads in proprietary apps, including Samsung Weather, Samsung Pay, and Samsung Themes. The update will be ready later this year."
Samsung emphasized that prioritizing user satisfaction outweighs ad revenue. The spokesperson added: "We value feedback from our users and remain committed to providing the best possible experience with our Galaxy products and services."
Users won't need workarounds like ad blockers or third-party apps anymore. Samsung's built-in tools will soon offer a sleeker, ad-free interface without sacrificing functionality.
No exact rollout date was specified beyond "later this year," but this change signals Samsung's dedication to improving the Galaxy ecosystem.
