How to Block Ads on Your Android Device

1. Disable popup ads in web browsers

If you frequently use the Google Chrome browser on Android, you can perform the following steps to disable popups:

First, open Chrome, then click on the 3-dot icon at the top corner of the browser, select Settings =>Site Settings.

Next, simply click on Pop-ups and redirects and disable this option.

Disabling ad notifications means Chrome will block all notifications and automatic pop-ups in your browser.

Alternatively, you can activate Chrome's data saver mode by selecting Settings -> More -> Data usage -> Data Saver and turning it on.

2. Turn off full-screen popup ads in applications

Method 1: Block ads windows on specific apps

It's really annoying when you're accessing an app or game and ad windows keep popping up in full-screen mode.

To stop ads, the best way is to upgrade to the Pro version or purchase ad-free versions of the app. These apps are usually available as in-app purchases. To download these apps, you need to pay a certain amount depending on each specific app.

=> upgrade to Pro version or purchase ad-free paid apps

=> in-app purchase: paid apps

Method 2: Block ad windows of apps downloaded from unreliable sources

If ads have only recently started appearing, particularly after downloading and installing apps from unreliable sources outside the Play Store, the culprit causing the issue is likely these apps.

To view apps receiving notifications, go to Settings->Apps & notifications->Advanced>Special app access > Display over other apps. Then disable Allow display over other apps.

Applications such as system cleaners, wallpaper collections, etc., often come with a bunch of ads. Check out other users' reviews of these apps to see if they're facing similar issues. If so, uninstall these apps from your device and see if the ad pop-up windows still appear.

If the above method is not applicable, try checking the apps you have installed to see if any apps are overlapping with others. Open the Settings =>Apps & notifications =>Advanced =>Special app access =>Display over other apps.

Here you will see a list of apps that you have installed which are allowed to display over other apps. Go through the list of apps, if you see any suspicious apps, select that app and set the Allow display over other apps option to OFF.

3. Turn off popup ads in the notification area

Although this is a type of hidden notification in the notification area, its frequent appearance also annoys users.

To turn off notifications of this type, follow these steps:

Swipe down to open the notification area. Tap on the 'i' icon in the circle to display app information.

Alternatively, to display app notifications, go to Settings =>Apps & notification =>See all X apps. Then click on the app name to open its settings.

When the app dialog box opens, select the Notifications option and disable notifications.
