One major frustration for Samsung Galaxy users has been ads popping up in the company's built-in apps. In a positive move, Samsung is eliminating these ads later this year, delivering a smoother, more enjoyable experience across its proprietary software.
A Samsung spokesperson told The Verge: "Samsung has made the decision to stop hosting ads in proprietary apps, including Samsung Weather, Samsung Pay, and Samsung Themes. The update will be ready later this year."
Prioritizing user satisfaction over ad revenue, the company emphasized: "We value feedback from our users and remain committed to providing the best possible experience of our Galaxy products and services."
Soon, no need for ad blockers or third-party alternatives—Samsung's stock apps will run cleaner, freeing up screen space from intrusive promotions.
While no exact date was given beyond 'later this year,' this update signals Samsung's dedication to enhancing the Galaxy ecosystem based on real user input.
